About this property

Charming spacious barn with swimming pool in beautiful tranquil scenery

Our beautiful barn is in its own grounds of 1 hectare at Finca al-manzil. It has its own entrance and complete privacy.
Furnished with care, interesting objects and paintings.
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, smart t.v.; fully equipped kitchen with door to terrace with outside dining table on covered porch. A wood burning stove keeps the whole space really cosy in the cooler months.
Sunny bathroom with roomy shower and views of meadow.
Long covered terrace with views over the olive groves and up to the peaks, a lovely place for dining and watching the birds.
The grounds surround the barn for complete privacy, a magical copse of old holm oaks are perfect for hammock siestas and star gazing dinners in the
warm, clear Extremadura nights.
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.
A path leads from the barn to the wonderful pool surrounded by beautiful shrubs and extensive views.
The pool is shared with the cortijo of Finca al-manzil IF it is rented but it is in its own special place not belonging to either house, there is plenty of space and privacy for everyone and the barn has its own private terrace with loungers and shade. Pool opens on May 15.

Wir wohnten im August 2019 3 Wochen in der Scheune. Sehr liebevoll umgebautes und eingerichtetes Objekt in wunderschöner, ruhiger Umgebung. Idealer Ausgangspunkt für Wanderungen, ebenso für Ausflüge in die schönsten Städte der Extremadura. Pippa und Manfred sind sehr freundliche und umsichtige Gastgeber. Herzlichen Dank für die nette Aufnahme in der Scheune.

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.

Why they chose this property

Finca al-manzil is well known as a great place to stay in stunning countryside, tranquility and a unique style, either at the cortijo for 6 or the barn for 2. It's a country estate with horses, extensive woodlands, mountain peaks, you are free to roam on the footpaths or the wonderful walk up to Montanchez. We are in a little world of our own.

What makes this property unique

Tranquility in a healthy environment, pure air and mountain water. Comfortable houses with unique decoration, not typical tourist villas. Personal attention and advice about what to do and see.
