5 Holiday apartments & homes for your holiday in the mountains in Herrera de Alcántara

This vacation home is a hidden gem! We were pleasantly surprised by the cozy interiors and the charming fireplace. It was very nice to relax after a day of exploration. The pool was a great bonus, especially for the kids. Highly recommended for a family getaway!

We struggled to find the location (coming from a different vacation address; our car navigation did not know the location and we did not have 4G). Fortunately, once we were in the area, the Tres Dehesas was well signposted. We were received very friendly and the house was fantastic. The environment was what I had hoped for, very beautiful, along the way there were not only cattle, but also deer and every day we saw many vultures circling. We inquired about the possibilities to buy bread in the neighborhood (especially for breakfast), and that was explained. But in fact it was not necessary, because every day the owner or her daughter brought a huge amount of delicacies that we could easily have with breakfast (cakes, bread to toast, jam, butter, milk, fruit juice you name it). We had a shower that broke at an unfortunate time; that was immediately resolved (while we could have used the third bathroom). The house was completely according to the pictures, perhaps nicer; very spacious with large living room, kitchen with table and space to barbecue inside, 2 large fridge-freezer, three 2-person bedrooms + adjoining bathroom, and a separate WC. Lovely swimming pool with grass around it and shade for lovers. The kitchen did not have a lot of pans, but there was, for example, coffee (and a percolator, my favorite), tea, sugar and the like to use. There was a toaster and a washing machine. The laundry rack was a bit small, but luckily the laundry dried very quickly. The people were very friendly and helpful. Really recommended! You must be able to withstand that there is no WiFi and that you are fairly far from civilization. In any case, we thought it was wonderful and would have liked to stay longer.

If you like peace and quiet, you can go here excellent. The house is in a remote location (3 km. From the paved road), a protected bird sanctuary between the stone and cork oaks. The complex is part of a sprawling finca (farm), where the Iberian pig is bred, like sheep. In the area are a lot of deer. Birdwatchers will enjoy: large flocks of black vultures, just across the house, indrukwekkend.De nearest gas station is 40 km. Like the supermarket. Not bad, but something to be reckoned with. In the summer it is hot (35-40oC. Spring and autumn are pleasant in terms of temperature for those who do not hold the heat. A super location to unwind with a big pile of books.
