Finca al-manzil is a Casa Rural in the magical Sierra de Montanchez, Extremadura, a wonderful part of Spain, pure nature but with plenty to see and do in the nearby historical towns and villages. The cortijo is the original farmhouse, a unique property full of character. An ideal place for peaceful family holidays and a wonderfully romantic atmosphere for groups of friends. It has been beautifully renovated but retains that special Spanish country house feel. Very spacious with double height sitting room, 3 spacious bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms. A covered porch, open terrace and a roof terrace, there is a special place for all times of the day with lovely views and at night for sitting under the canopy of stars. The kitchen is well equipped for creative cooks with huge old stone work table, dining room has a long refectory table and doors to outside dining terrace. Decorated with great care with a mixture of simple good quality design, antique and ethnic furnishing, plenty of books for a good read on the patios and terraces. The swimming pool is a tucked into the natural hillside with stunning views in all directions, up to the peaks of the mountain and across the olive groves.
