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.

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! september 2019, Mirjam and Antoine

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.

So glad we found this special place

We had a superb week at the barn. The weather was amazing for March with all the wild flowers looking beautiful. Our main aim was to enjoy nature by walking in the sierra straight from the barn, we did this nearly everyday except for a trip to Trujillo, a charming town with fantastic conquistador architecture and several excellent restaurants. Lovely peaceful week , all ready to face the Brixit nonsene at home. We will definitely stay longer next time.

We absolutely loved the barn!

The barn is really beautifully designed for two with masses of airy space inside and a lovely covered porch where we spent a lot of time watching the birds in the meadow and in the copse of old holm oaks. Really comfortable and stylish with good quality furnishings and design features, two amazing old harrows hanging on the wall, very impressive. Besides lounging around the finca we explored the super scenery and visited all the historical towns within 30 minutes drive. Had some memorable food and wine and met some super friendly people. We have booked already for next spring.

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.

a cool stay in a warm country

The Barn is a simple, but comfortable place to stay, where you can have sun as well as shadow. There is a nice view towards a beautiful landscape. We did several walks in the neighbourhoud. The place is very apt for trips by car to beautiful cities like Cáceres, Merida and Trujillo. Very recommended!

get away from it ALL

just returned after 13 nights stay at the barn at finca al-manzil. found it a basic but clean, peaceful and wonderfully situated retreat. owners are friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and very discreet. the barn is large and airy, but can get HOT, esp. at night, so prepare to sleep armed with COLD water bottles! situation very rural so plenty of ALL KINDS of wildlife RECOMMENDATIONS - hire-car (a must), a torch, binoculars. trujillo, merida, guadalupe, caceres, monfrague, marvao (portugal) ALL worth a visit. the whole area is charming so get out & explore EATING OUT - montanera in montanchez is good, so are the three restaurants by hotel las glorias (6 miles approx) on road to trujillo. they all do 'menu del dia' which comprise good hearty local food, at a price that won't break the bank. one negative point, the barn claims a television, but as it does not have an aerial this is just a video / dvd monitor NO WIMBLEDON. also watch your fingers in the side door!

Entspannte Ferien

Wir waren eine Woche in der Barn. Die Lage ist wunderbar abgelegen aber doch sehr gut zu erreichen. Die Landschaft rundherum ist sehr reizvoll und man kann direkt von der Finca interessante Wanderungen unternehmen. Pippa und Manfred sind sehr angenehme und unauffällige Gastgeber. Wir werden mit Sicherheit in einigen Jahren nochmals Gäste sein. Barbara und Lothar

compte-rendu séjour avril 2010

Dès notre arrivée nous avons été séduits par la situation de la finca. La grange est nichée dans un écrin de verdure au pied des premiers contreforts de la Sierra de Montanchez. Le chemin d'accès bordé de murets de pierre sèche serpente entre les oliviers et les chênes-liège. Partout les floraisons de viperine, de camomille, de cistes, de lavande forment des parterres colorés du plus bel effet. D'un point de vue ornithologique la finca est également remarquable et bon nombre des espèces typiques de la région sont observables sur place ou dans les environs. Durant notre séjour les matinées étaient agrémentées des allées et venues des pies bleues (azure winged magpie), les alentours de la grange bruissaient des chants de nombreux passereaux dont parmi les plus remarquables: loriot (golden oriole) huppe (hoopoe) rossignol (nightingale) fauvette mélanocéphale (sardinian warbler) serin cini (serin). Nous observons régulièrement des poursuites de coucou (cuckoo) et plusieurs pies-grièches à tête rousse (woodchat shrike) autour de la maison. Les guêpiers (bee-eater) sont revenus de la migration et commencent à creuser des galeries dans les talus. Dans l'après-midi nous avons pu suivre à plusieurs reprises les parades de 2 couples de circaetes (short-toed eagle) ainsi que la chasse d'un couple d'aigles de Bonelli (Bonelli's eagle) au-dessus des arêtes dominant la finca. Milan noir (black kite) aigle botté (booted eagle) vautour percnoptère (egyptian vulture) vautour fauve (griffon vulture) et cigogne blanche (white stork) planent régulièrement aux alentours. Mais un des sommets du séjour était sans conteste les apparitions d'un couple de grand-ducs (eagle owl) presque tous les soirs sur les crêtes au-dessus de la finca. A une occasion nous avons pu apercevoir un des poussins de l'année rejoindre un des adultes sur un rocher. C'était vraiment un grand moment pour un ornithologue de diner avec le chant de ces rapaces comme ambiance sonore! La finca constitue également une intéressante base pour explorer les milieux intéressants des alentours comme les dehesas et les steppes autour de Trujillo et Caceres, et observer d'autres espèces comme les outardes (great and little bustards) le rollier (roller) le coucou-geai (spotted cuckoo) le vautour moine (black vulture) et bien d'autres que la brieveté de notre séjour ne nous a pas permis de découvrir. C'est une bonne raison pour revenir plus longuement dans le futur.

Happy memories of our holiday in the barn

We stayed in the barn for 10 days in April. What a delight, the wild flowers were stunning, the whole barn meadow was ablaze with camomile, wild marigolds and deep purple bugloss. The barn itself was a haven of peace, airy space and comfort. We are very keen on bird life and nature generally, we had hours of interest sitting on the porch observing the azure winged magpies and many other species, in the evening the eagle owl started its wonderful low hoot. There are great walks directly from the barn straight into the sierra and up to the castle of Montanchez. We also did a few excursions further afield to the three main towns, full of culture and atmosphere. Pippa was very helpful with any questions about the area, specially on where to eat in the towns. A very special place!
