From the owner

The cortijo of Finca al-manzil is in the magical Sierra de Montanchez, Extremadura, a wonderful part of Spain with plenty to see and do. This is a unique property full of character, please see reviews.

A perfect summer holiday, spring break or winter retreat for families, friends or couples. There are lovely views over the olive groves or up to the spectacular peaks of the sierra. Decorated with great care, a mixture of simple, good quality design with antique and ethnic furnishing, plenty of books for a good read on the patios and terraces. Bedrooms all en-suite, one with roof terrace, perfect for sunny breakfasts or star gazing. The swimming pool is situated in a natural curve of the mountains, surrounded by trees and shrubs, it has a wonderfully peaceful atmosphere with stunning views of mountains and olive groves.

Walk directly into the Sierra on ancient Moorish paths, nature is a delight at any season especially Bird Watching with many rare species on the finca including an eagle owl. 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. Horse riding, biking, and hiking from the finca. Welcome to join in the local farming activities & fiestas or a fun cooking morning.Cooking holiday: We run an interesting creative cooking holiday at Finca al-manzil several times a year.

    A Magical holiday in this beautiful cortijo, full of character and style
    May 2015

    We spend 2 weeks at the Cortijo of Finca al-manzil at the beginning of May. Already quite hot but the house kept very cool with thick shutters and good insulation. The pool was divine and we spent mos… More

    July is much too hot to stay here, and that mistake was entirely ours! The location, setting and tranquility of the large and grand Cortjio property are all amazing! Sadly, however, we did not feel w… More

    Response from the owner
    I have only just noticed this review and feel it very necessary to respond. The family of 3 who stayed at the cortijo in July 2014 left some very flattering remarks in my guest book so this review is even more mysterious. They seemed perfectly happy and did not say a negative word about the cortijo or the finca. By the way, as to the reference of an expensive holiday, they did in fact get a discount as there were only 3 and not 6. We had many friendly chats and provided them with bikes (never actually used as they alway got up so late, of course it was too hot to do anything by 11.00) I think they were unsuited to a hot summer and not prepared to adapt their timetable to accommodate the climate. A pity that they don't seem to have reaped the full glory of an Extremadura summer, early rising to enjoy the cool mornings, a cool siesta in the afternoon and looking forward to long balmy starry nights.

    A very special place to stay in gorgeous scenery, great walking and bird watching
    Oct 2012

    We all loved Finca al-manzil, even better than the photos. Not an average holiday house, full of personality, comfortable and felt like home with lots of books and dvds for entertainment. The pool is … More
