The lovely cortijo of Finca al-manzil is a perfect place to get away from it all. The finca is an extensive property on the slopes of the Sierra de Montanchez, a unique location in the stunning natural countryside and precious historical atmosphere of Extremadura. There are magical walks from the finca on ancient paths with beautiful views in all directions, ideal for bird watching as the environment is so naturaland peaceful. We have 3 horses and 1 donkey in part of the finca and can arrange rides for competent riders. Bikes are also available.

There is a long covered porch with wide views directly outside two of the bedrooms, one bedroom has its own spacious roof terrace with spectacular views of the mountain. Kitchen is very well equipped and has ancient stone table which is an inspiration for creative cooks, help yourselves to the herbs from the garden. The secluded pool is set on a terrace with wonderful views,it has a mild salt water system which keeps it sparkling clean without harmful chemicals. The house is surrounded by its own grounds of 20 hectares, woods, mountain paths and wonderful views. There is a great walk to Montanchez castle directly from the finca.
