Magical vacation barn in pure nature

Finca al-manzil's barn is located in the magical Sierra de Montanchez, Extremadura, a beautiful 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 for just 2 people in total privacy and tranquility. It stands on its own 1 acre site with its own entrance. Really spacious with bedroom upstairs, living/dining room of 45 m² with double height with sofa, armchairs, dining room for 6 people; wood stove; lots of books and DVDs; fully equipped kitchen with door to terrace with outdoor dining table on covered veranda. Sunny bathroom with spacious shower. Long terrace with views over the olive groves and up to the peaks. Furnished with care, interesting objects and paintings. Super pool in a secluded area. There is a grove of holm oaks in the barn meadow for shady siestas and star gazing on clear Extremadura nights. . Lovely walks in all directions. GREAT BIRDS WATCHING...an eagle owl nesting in the forest, flocks of azure winged magpies, magic hoopoes plus the usual eagles, hawks and griffon vultures circling the peaks of the mountain. The walk to our local village of Montanchez takes 40 minutes on a delightful track through the natural landscape of the Sierra. There is also a great 3 hour walk through the watermill gorge, over the mountain and into Montanchez. There are 4 World Heritage cities within a radius of 40 km: Caceres, Trujillo, Guadalupe and Merida, fascinating to discover, great nightlife and shopping. Spring is a great time to visit the finca, it is a long season from late March to mid-May, the wildflowers are spectacular and a great time for birdwatching. Summer means wonderful lazy days surrounded by beautiful views of olive groves and up to the shady forests of the Sierra , the evenings are a delight, long sultry hours for candlelit dining on the beautiful terrace. Autumn is wonderfully warm until the end of October, still a great birdwatching opportunity with early winter migrations. Time to enjoy the uniquely preserved Moorish trails of the Sierra. Winter is cozy in the barn, the Danish wood stove keeps the whole spade warm. Many sunny days to enjoy the area.
