A quiet rural stay
The aim was to see some of Extremadura. The Cortijo was ideal. It was well situated to visit Cacares, Merida, Trujillo and Badajoz. The walk to the Castillo at Montachez was excellent if a bit steep in places.
The house itself was spacious with lots of places to sit and a great pool.

Beautiful Finca in Extremadura
We can’t say enough good things about our wonderful stay at Finca Al-Manzil. From the location of the property, the serenity and natural beauty of this rural area, to the warmth and hospitality of our hosts Pippa and Manfred, this was a truly memorable experience for our family. The closest village is a quick 5-minute drive or a 40 minute hike. The pool (and our hosts’s friendly dogs) was a big hit with our kids, adults too. We highly recommend a stay at this finca if you’re looking to unplug and are willing to soak up and explore all that the Extremadura region has to offer. We’d undoubtedly visit Pippa and Manfred’s finca again!

Lovely house, stunning location.
The house is lovely. Comfortable and well equipped. An extraordinary range and number of books for a rental house. If you're interested in art and literature and travel and cookery you may not want to go out.
Wonderful view from the balcony. Hoopoes and bee-eaters and wild flowers everywhere. A naturalist's paradise. Montanchez is a 50 minute walk if you aren't distracted by the landscape and the wildlife. In easy reach of Trujillo, Caceres and Merida. The Roman museum in Merida is extraordinary.
Pippa and Manfred were very helpful and fully respected our privacy. Highly recommended.

Great week in Extremadura
We had a lovely week at his beautiful home. The setting is gorgeous and the location was perfect for exploring the nearby towns. Our children particularly enjoyed getting to know the animals on the Finca.

Lovely house with peaceful ambiance and views across Extremadura landscape
Finca al Manzil is a unique and characterful place- set in beautiful surroundings, peaceful ambiance, comfortable and well equipped (great library, solar power hot water, good kitchen). Pool good and brilliant wood fire! Lovely walks from the house - olive and fig trees as far as the eye can see. We had a wonderful few days and would be very happy to return.

Relaxing, well designed house
We loved the well designed house with a touch of Arabic style. There were so many nice areas to relax in and enjoy the peace and tranquility. We especially enjoyed cooking in the well equipped kitchen and eating outside on the terrace. The pool was great to cool down in after a day hiking in the beautiful surrounding countryside or after a trip to historic Medieval towns like Trejillo only a short car journey away.
We were sometimes greeted on our way out of the gate at the finca by the owner's friendly dogs who never seemed to bark at night. A lovely cat used to join us at times when we were relaxing on one of the terraces in the evening watching the sun go down.
We very much enjoyed our stay at Finca al-manzil and hope to return.
