About this property

Traditional shepherd's house on the Rio Guadiana

The Finca Pago del Hongo is located in the south west of Andalusia approx. 30 km from the sea near the picturesque village of Sanlúcar directly on the banks of the Guadiana, the border river between Spain and Portugal. The 1.5 hectare property, overgrown with olives, figs, oranges and holm oaks, has an Andalusian country house and a small, traditional shepherd's house. The houses can be rented separately or together, depending on space requirements and comfort requirements. If you are looking for peace and closeness to nature, love life on the Campo, want to explore the still untouched landscape and the impressive river, the ecologically operated finca is an ideal holiday resort.

Surroundings: By car, the picturesque village of Sanlúcar, a few kilometers upstream, where you will find restaurants, bars and shops, can be reached in 15 minutes. The wide Atlantic beaches and the lively port city of Ayamonte at the mouth of the Guadiana are 35-45 minutes away by car. The destinations: - Sanlucar, Alcoutim, Ayamonte, Villa Real, Isla Christina, Sevilla, Faro, the Algarve, Parque Nacional de Doñana (mouth of the Guadalquivir, largest nature reserve in Europe), nature reserve of Aracena (mountain region on the border to extremadura).

Ecology: The finca is operated autonomously by public supply according to ecological standards. A solar system supplies electricity. The shepherd's house is equipped with a 12 V network. Energy-saving devices and lamps are used. The finca's water supply has its own deep well. Waste water is biologically cleaned in a multi-chamber sewage treatment plant so that it can be used to irrigate the garden.

Climate: The finca is an attractive holiday destination in every season. The beginning of spring begins with the almond blossom in February, which often ensures a changing floral display even with almost summer weather. At the same time, the oranges are ready for picking. However, it can and must rain sometimes. On these fresher spring and autumn evenings, the stove in the living room of the shepherd's house ensures pleasant temperatures. In the Andalusian summer you have guaranteed sun. For hot days with temperatures around 35 degrees in the midday sun, the finca offers shady places such as: B. on the terraces, under the Chirringito on the river and a refreshing swim in the river. In addition, a mostly fresh wind ensures a pleasant climate, especially if you decide to go on a beach trip.

The shepherd's house can accommodate 2-3 (with children 2-4) people and is ideal for nature lovers who are looking for original accommodation on the Campo (countryside), with simple comfort and at a reasonable price. On the large covered terrace with a view over the Guadiana there is a large brick table with a bench and garden furniture. Here you can eat, rest or let your eyes wander. A second terrace invites you to sunbathe.

Perfect trip to nature
A wonderful place in the middle of nature, perfect to slow down... Despite a very hot week with over 40 degrees at times, it was easy to stay on the shady terrace during the day with a little wind. In the mornings and evenings I can recommend to use the available kayak. As this is a tidal river you can even use the current to paddle upstream very comfortably and explore the Guadiana and its wonderful flora & fauna. Time seems to have stood still here. The shepherd's house with indoor and outdoor shower is very practically and tastefully built and furnished. The very nice and helpful neighbours Karin, Freya and Torsten answered every question immediately and helped us promptly with any problems. We returned delighted and very relaxed and will be back again this year. Best regards and many thanks also to Anette and Jan whose wonderful house we were able to experience. Ingo & Mick

Ein Hirtenhaus zum Runterkommen
Wer Ruhe sucht und abschalten möchte ist hier genau richtig. Der Blick auf den Guadiana ist wunderschön und das Gezwitscher der vielen Vogelarten macht deutlich, wie naturnah das Grundstück liegt. Die Finca ist über eine 4km lange staubige Schotterpiste mit Schlaglöchern aus zu erreichen. Das Hirtenhaus ist einfach und mit allem Notwendigen eingerichtet. Eine Gastherme übernimmt die Heißwasserversorgung, Licht und ein kleiner Kühlschrank über die 12V Solaranlage. Die Terrasse lädt perfekt zum Runterkommen und Verweilen ein. Ein Kanu liegt zum Paddeln bereit. Zur Info: Vor Ort ist so gut wie kein mobiler Internet -und schwacher Telefonempfang. Wir waren bereits zum dritten Mal in der Finca und diesmal lief leider einiges schief: Wie vereinbart steckte bei unserer Ankunft (23:45) der Schlüssel nicht im Schloss und das Hirtenhaus war auch nicht gereinigt. Ein Versehen der Verwalterin vor Ort, die Reinigung wurde am darauffolgenden Morgen nachgeholt, den Schlüssel erhielten wir noch nachts. Noch etwas hat uns gestört, wir haben etwas mehr für das Hirtenhaus bezahlen müssen als auf der Fincawebsite angegeben. Die Preise zu erhöhen ist ja rechtens, aber dann bitte offiziell und für alle ersichtlich vor der Buchung und nicht erst mit Zusendung des Vertrags. Es gab leider kein unaufgefordertes Entgegenkommen der Vermieterin. Die Preise wurden bis heute auf der Website nicht angepasst.

Sagenhaft!
Wir hatten einen traumhaften Aufenthalt im Hirtenhaus der Finca Guadiana! Der Blick auf den Fluss ist unbeschreiblich schön. Ruhe und Erholung sind schon nach dem ersten Tag zu spüren. Das kleine Dorf Sanlucar de Guadiana ist ebenfalls ein zauberhaftes Örtchen und für Wanderfreunde (neben vielen anderen Routen) auch herrlich zu Fuß erreichbar, aber besser ist man mit dem Auto vor Ort unterwegs. Die Finca bietet alles, was man für einen perfekten Urlaub in atemberaubender Natur benötigt!
