Really special holiday barn in beautiful sierra scenery with great pool
The barn at Finca al-manzil is in the magical Sierra de Montanchez, Extremadura, a wonderful part of Spain with plenty to see and do. A perfect summer holiday, spring break or winter retreat. This is a unique house, full of character, just for 2 in total privacy and tranquility. It's in its own grounds of 1 hectare with its own entrance. Really spacious with upstairs bedroom, a double height sitting/dining room of 45m2 with sofa, armchairs, dining for 6; wood burning stove; plenty of books and dvds; fully equipped kitchen with door to terrace with outside dining table on covered porch. Sunny bathroom with roomy shower. Long terrace with views over the olive groves and up to the peaks. Furnished with care, interesting objects and paintings. Super swimming pool set in secluded area. There is a copse of Holm Oaks in the barn meadow for shady siestas and star gazing on clear Extremadura nights. Bike hire available. Lovely walks in all directions. FANTASTIC FOR BIRD WATCHING... an eagle owl is nesting in the woods, flocks of azure winged magpies, magical hoopoes plus the usual eagles, hawks and griffin vultures circling up in the crags. The walk to our local village of Montanchez takes 40 mins on a delightful path through the natural scenery of the sierra. There is also a great 3 hour walk up the watermill gorge, over the mountain and into Montanchez. There are 4 World Heritage towns within 40kms: Caceres, Trujillo, Guadalupe and Merida, fascinating to explore, great night life and shopping. Spring is a delightful time to visit the finca, it's a long season from late March until the middle of May, the wild flowers are spectacular and a wonderful time for bird watching. Summer means lovely lazy days surrounded by beautiful views of olive groves and up to the shady woods of the sierra, the evenings are a delight, long balmy hours for candlelit dining on the beautiful terraces, and possibility of sleeping outside under the breathtaking stars, all very romantic. Autumn is wonderfully warm until the end of October, another great bird watching opportunity with the winter migrations starting. Time for enjoying the uniquely preserved Moorish paths of the sierra. Winter is cosy in the barn, the Danish wood burner keeps the whole space warm. Lots of sunny days for enjoying the surroundings.
Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a kitchen, a washing machine, and a balcony.

Superb location.
The Barn is set in an ideal location offering wonderful views, peace and quiet and is a great base for walking, birdwatching and sightseeing.
Sitting out on the terrace was a wonderful way to start and end your day, enjoying the peace and solitude.

A stylish, rustic holiday home in an idyllic location.
We've just returned from a lovely stay in this fantastic area of Spain. The barn is a very relaxing place to stay with plenty of outdoor areas to enjoy at different times of the day and night. We actually never used the living area, as we spent ALL our time enjoying alfresco living, including watching shooting stars. The owner is friendly, but respects your privacy which was greatly appreciated.
The barn is in a great location to explore the historic towns of Caceres, Merida and Trujillo. We also loved seeing the storks, eagles and vultures in Monfrague National Park. For Game of Thrones fans and nature lovers Los Barruecos is well worth a visit.
Me gustaría advertir seriamente sobre el este alojamiento ofrecido en Montánchez, Cáceres. Nuestra experiencia fue extremadamente negativa y considero importante compartirla para evitar que otros huéspedes pasen por lo mismo.Desde nuestra llegada, las condiciones de la propiedad fueron muy distintas a las que se muestran en el anuncio. El interior de la vivienda alcanzaba temperaturas insoportables, sin ventilación adecuada ni aire acondicionado, y el único ventilador proporcionado era insuficiente para aliviar el calor. La propietaria había asegurado que la temperatura sería agradable, pero en realidad superaba los 38 grados, lo que hizo imposible descansar. Nos vimos obligados a dormir con la puerta corredera abierta, exponiéndonos a la entrada de animales, ya que la casa está en plena naturaleza.La piscina, que se presenta como un atractivo del alojamiento, estaba sucia y cubierta de moho, y solo se podía acceder a ella mediante un camino pedregoso sin sombra, lo que dificultaba su uso. Además, la finca estaba rodeada de maleza sin recoger, lo que representa un grave riesgo de incendio en pleno mes de julio. La propietaria se excusó diciendo que aún no era el momento de retirarla, lo cual no es cierto.Las ventanas del salón, al estar situadas en una posición elevada, no se pueden abrir, salvo una. La del dormitorio superior no cuenta con mosquitera, lo que obliga a elegir entre soportar el calor o exponerse a picaduras de insectos.

a dream come true
The barn in Finca al-Manzil is a perfect place to be, a kind of dream come true. Very tasteful inside and at the same time very practical: there is literally everything you need.
And in front of the house a lovely veranda ads a beautiful yard with ancient trees. Behind you the mountain ridge and in front of you a wide view of rural Extremadura.
Pippa and Manfred are very sympathetic and helpful hosts.
So the only problem of being there is that you don't want to leave!

Een heerlijke en betoverende plek
Ruim huis met verzorgd en kunstzinnig interieur. Beneden veel leefruimte en heerlijk om op de veranda te zitten en naar de omgeving te kijken. Regelmatig hoor je de paarden hinniken en we zagen een Wielewaal vliegen.
. De slaapruimte boven werd wel wat warm savonds en je kunt makkelijk je hoofd stoten bij het bed onder hetr schuine dak.
