Harmonie totale avec la nature

Des vacances de rêve dans votre magnifique maison de Villanueva de la Vera… Tous les commentaires laissés précédemment sont justes et décrivent la magie de la maison et du lieu. Des ballades au cœur de la montagne, des baignades dans les piscines naturelles… tout était parfait ! Viveca et Hans sont très accueillants et attentionnés, c’est très agréable. C’était aussi pour nous l’occasion de vivre dans une maison autonome dotée de panneaux solaires : une magnifique expérience en harmonie avec la nature. Merci beaucoup à vous deux, nous reviendrons avec plaisir dans votre villa.

Magnificent house on the southern slopes of the Sierra de Gredos

Our expectations of the house were quite high when we arrived because of the promising photos on the VRBO site. Moreover, we are lovers of Spain and Extremadura in particular. So it was with confidence that we traveled to Vilanueva de la Vera. However, it was even better than we expected. After a slightly challenging drive along a dirt road (of about 13 minutes) we arrived at the stunning modernist one-story villa en were cordially welcomed by the host. He showed us around en informed us of the ins and outs of staying in a mansion powered by sunlight and completely surrounded by nature. The house is tastefully furnished, spacious and very comfortable without tending towards blunt luxury. The way we like it. The bedrooms and bathrooms are simply convenient with good beds and ample room. Eveything is in great working order except for the gas stove which proved to be a little reluctant in lighting it. The kitchen is great, by the way, well equipped. Being an amateur cook, I spent quite some time in it en enjoyed every minute. Then, there's the garden en the swimming pool (a very friendly local gentleman, Andres, comes to clean it every other day). Only superlatives suffice. Surrounded by Mediterranean and subtropical vegetation, spending time with your family by the pool is more than enjoyable. We are naturalists and had the pleasure of observing a Spanish imperial eagle soaring above the house. The location of the house, surrounded by woodland is magnificent.

A wonderful property in a stunning setting.

We had a brilliant time. The house is located in a magnificent mountain setting and we were able to enjoy the view from the veranda and swimming pool. We enjoyed visiting the local villages, which have great character - if we could drag ourselves away from the house and pool that is. Viveca and Hans were always contactable if we needed anything. A great experience and we would love to stay again.

About the host

Hosted by Viveca

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with the Sierra de Gredos soon after arriving in Spain, when we would come out on weekends to go hiking. The dramatic rocky mountain peaks covered with snow until the summer, set against the palm trees and orange trees and other lush subtropical vegetation further down, and then the endless view of the Extremadura plains. Such a sense of space and of freedom! As soon as we could we bought a plot of land here, at easy walking distance from one of the Garganta Minchones, one of the area's best mountain rivers, and built the house of my dreams here. We hope you will be able to enjoy it as much as we do.

What makes this property unique

We built the house on a spot that has 360º views, of the high mountain peaks on the north, the endless Extremadura plains on the south with the Sierra de Guadalupe and the Montes de Toledo on the horizon at 50 km. distance, and the sensual and lush hills of La Vera area all around. The architects, an American married to a Swedish woman who lived and worked in Madrid for some years, managed to preserve this sense of all-around views by putting in many large floor to ceiling windows that make the house almost transparent. The light is absolutely magical, different at all times of the day, and the place radiates an incredible sense of peace and calm. The covered terrace is our actual living space, as the climate allows for all-year-round outdoor life. What we enjoy most are the summer nights out under the amazing starry skies, and the beautiful rockpools in the Garganta Minchones, where bathing in the mineral water pools to the sound of the waterfalls feels like being in an open-air spa.
