Very nice and helpful owners, every day we got a basket full of wood and then the room was nice and warm in no time. Nice bed. Everything fine, towels, bath towels etc were changed regularly and the cottage cleaned. Recommended for those who like peace and quiet.
Heel aardige en behulpzame eigenaren, elke dag kregen we een mand vol hout en dan was de kamer binnen een mum van tijd heerlijk warm. Lekker bed. Alles prima!
Handdoeken, baddoeken etc werden regelmatig verschoond en het huisje gepoetst. Aanrader voor wie van rust houdt.Wonderfully quiet, very wide, lots of birds and very beautiful surroundings ( Dehesas).Perfect place. Not too far from the highway , but still in the middle of nature.
Heerlijk rustig, heel wijds, veel vogels en hele mooie omgeving ( Dehesa’s).
Perfecte plek. Niet te ver van de snelweg , maar toch midden in de natuur.This text is automatically translated. -

We were here in December 2021-January 2022. The weather was beautiful (very sunny) but of course cold at night. The owners made sure there was always wood ready for the traditional wood stove. It hummed pleasantly all evening. Sun loungers were also provided because of the nice weather and if we had wanted, the owners would have also opened the pool from its winter sleep. Every morning we woke up to the bird calls. The yard is home to all kinds of unusual birds, such as the hoopoe. Above our heads always the red kite and cranes. Although December/January does not seem to be the best time for bird watching we found it incredible what we saw at the cottage alone. Furthermore, the cottage is right in the middle between the very worthwhile cities of Trujillo, Caceres and Merida, and also within driving distance of Monfrague. It was extremely quiet everywhere, both because of the season and because of Corona but in Spain everything was open, so wonderful, we came back to life here. And excellent hairdressers in the village! In the yard all kinds of animals, nice walks to make in the immediate vicinity.
We enjoyed ourselves. Also by the informal atmosphere in the yard of the owners.Wij waren hier in december 2021- januari 2022. Het was mooi weer (heel zonnig) maar ‘s avonds natuurlijk koud. De eigenaars zorgden dat er steeds hout klaarstond voor de traditionele houtkachel. Die snorde de hele avond genoeglijk. Ook werd er vanwege het mooie weer voor zonnestoelen gezorgd en als we gewild hadden, hadden de eigenaars ook nog het zwembad opengegooid uit de winterslaap. Elke ochtend werden we wakker van de vogelconcerten. Op het erf komen allerlei bijzondere vogels voor, zoals bijvoorbeeld de hop. Boven onze hoofden steeds de rode wouw en kraanvogels. Hoewel december/ januari niet de beste tijd schijnt te zijn om vogels te spotten vonden we het ongelooflijk wat we alleen al bij het huisje allemaal zagen. Verder ligt het huisje precies in het midden tussen de zeer bezienswaardige steden Trujillo, Caceres en Merida.
En ook op rijafstand van Monfrague. Het was overal enorm rustig, zowel door het seizoen als door Corona maar in Spanje was alles open, zo heerlijk, we kwamen hier weer helemaal tot leven. En prima kappers in het dorp! Op het erf allerlei dieren, leuke wandelingen te maken in de directe omgeving.
We hebben genoten. Ook door de informele sfeer op het erf van de eigenaars.The surroundings are beautiful, birds chirping all day long
De omgeving is prachtig, de hele dag gekwinkeleer van vogels
