Un séjour merveilleux

Tout a Ă©tĂ© parfait durant ces 3 semaines. JosĂ©, le propriĂ©taire, a toujours Ă©tĂ© prĂ©cis, prĂ©venant et attentif, secondĂ© par Juanje sur place. La propriĂ©tĂ© s'inscrit dans le cadre superbe de la Sierra de Gredos que nous avons dĂ©couverte Ă  cette occasion : petites montagnes (randonnĂ©es), forĂȘts et cours d'eau (piscines d'eau naturelle), bourgs animĂ©s Ă  proximitĂ©. La maison elle-mĂȘme, spacieuse, trĂšs bien organisĂ©e, conserve l'authenticitĂ© que lui ont donnĂ© ses habitants. On se sent presque "chez soi". Le grand jardin (avec piscine trĂšs pratique et saine) dispose de sĂ©quences trĂšs agrĂ©ables en fonction des moments de la journĂ©e. Une belle sĂ©rĂ©nitĂ© se dĂ©gage de ce lieu "magique". Il y a des tas de choses Ă  dĂ©couvrir dans les environs immĂ©diats, et nous avons pu aussi visiter SĂ©govie et TolĂšde
 Bref, le sĂ©jour fut enchanteur, reposant et stimulant en mĂȘme temps. Un rĂȘve Ă©veillĂ© qui va nous accompagner longtemps!

Fantastisch gelegen ruim vakantiehuis

Na een hartelijke ontvangst en rondleiding door de eigenaar hebben we 2 weken genoten van deze heerlijke plek. Pluspunten: ligging, privacy, zwembad, schaduwrijke tuin, bijzondere inrichting en gebouw, uirstekende communicatie met de eigenaar. Verbeterpunten: zoals andere gebruikers van deze woning al meldden, er staan veel te veel eigen spullen in de kasten, badkamer, slaapkamers en woonkamer. Je kunt je eigen spullen nauwelijks kwijt. Daarnaast vertonen vaatwasser en wasmachine mankementen.

Brilliant

This accommodation absolutely blew us away with its beauty, romance and location! It sits in a peaceful rural area next to a beautiful fig grove, and every morning the goat herd brings his flock past the house. It is on a no-through track so there is no passing traffic. The house is a converted school house so part of it is small and intimate (teacher's home), and then there is a stunning school hall adjacent. It is filled with nostalgic antiques from the past, which you will either find romantic and inspiring, or cluttered if you don't like that kind of thing. We had a gorgeous time, eating in the grapevine covered courtyard, swimming in the pool, admiring the beautiful views and hanging out at the local river where you can also swim and get food. We did have a few problems with the pool chemicals in the hot weather but the host was very helpful and communicative trying to sort it out for us, which he did. The local area is quiet and very beautiful, but to be honest it was too hot, and we were enjoying the property too much, to really visit much of it! We would have no hesitation in staying here again - it was pretty much perfect!

Un lieu hors du commun ...

Bien sĂ»r, les photos nous avaient sĂ©duits, nous qui recherchions un lieu calme pour nous reposer et nous permettre un sĂ©jour tranquille Ă  la campagne, mais nous avons Ă©tĂ© comblĂ©s au-delĂ  de nos espĂ©rances ! La maison de JosĂ© est magique pour ceux qui aiment les lieux qui ont une histoire et une Ăąme, les bibelots, nombreux, semblent tous raconter quelque chose que nous ne savons pas mais devinons, les photos dĂ©couvrent des visages de gens qui nous deviennent familiers, le patio, un rĂ©gal, semblent avoir assistĂ© Ă  une vie de repas, de discussions et de doux moments, mĂȘme les vieilles poĂȘles en fonte semblent dĂ©tenir des secrets en mĂȘme temps qu'elles permettent de retrouver la saveur des plats d'antan... Le jardin lui aussi est splendide et la piscine permet de se rafraĂźchir Ă  n'importe quel moment et le soir, nous y contemplions les Ă©toiles. Insectes, grenouilles, chĂšvres ont offert aux citadins que nous sommes un spectacle passionnant. Aux alentours, une riviĂšre permet la baignade en eau douce. Alors bien sĂ»r, il y fait chaud, oui, il manque peut-ĂȘtre un ou deux transats et un plat pour aller au four, mais ce n'est rien par rapport au coup de foudre que nous avons ressenti ! Nous reviendrons chez JosĂ© et merci encore Ă  Juanjo de nous avoir si gentiment accueillis.

A shabby experience.

An interesting property was our first impression, but sadly in need of repair. The house is very shabby with tiles hanging off the bathroom walls, the basin coming away from the wall and the bath and shower curtain arrangements were grim. Everywhere ceilings and walls showed signs of previous water damage. The owners belongings are everywhere, tooth brushes and toothpaste and toiletries on the only shelf in the in the bathroom, there were no clear surfaces in any room, everywhere was cluttered. The outdoor facilities were very basic metal chairs with no cushions. There was no comfortable seating and no sun parasols. The swimming pool was dirty with the pump running for shorts bursts only which did not clear the pool of debris and insects which accumulated every day. I mentioned this to owner as the bottom of the pool was dirty and she said she would get it cleaned the next morning but the pump wasn't running frequently enough to keep up and the pool was still dirty and we couldn't use the it again as it covered with dead insects. I cannot think this property is suitable as a holiday let.

Paisaje 10, Alojamiento 3

La verdad es que es una pena que una casa con tantas posibilidades estĂ© tan dejada. La cocina estaba bastante sucia. Para encontrar vajilla y Ăștiles de cocina tuvimos que buscar por todas las habitaciones. El sofĂĄ cama que es para dos personas es de espuma, incomodĂ­simo y no estaba muy limpio. Las almohadas tambiĂ©n necesitan un cambio. El baño tampoco es que sea mucho mejor. La bañera tiene caĂ­dos varios azulejos y la limpieza tampoco era muy buena. Tuvimos que quitar un vaso con varios cepillos de dientes... Otro problema fueron las avispas. Al entrar habĂ­a muchĂ­simas avispas por todas las dependencias de la casa.

Casa con encanto en un precioso entorno

Los 9 dĂ­as que pasamos en esta casa se nos hicieron demasiado cortos. Tan a gusto estĂĄbamos, ya fuera en el esmerado interior, en el relajante jardĂ­n con piscina o dando un paseo por el encantador entorno, que en ocasiones nos daba pereza salir a hacer turismo. En definitiva, una estancia muy recomendable para desconectar y recargar pilas.

algo distinto

ha sido como estar en una casa museo, lleno de curiosidades y verdaderas obras y antigĂŒedades, el entorno espectacular, las dos cosas que mas nos gustaron, el patio con sus dos parras y la piscina. tranquilidad absoluta, salvo el reloj de pared jajaja., todo lo demĂĄs bien, solo alguna peguita, aire acondicionado o ventilador y alguna toma mas de televisiĂłn y la cama de matrimonio suena mucho jajajaja.

A charming house surrounded by stunning scenary

We spent a fabulous 2 week family holiday at Las Escuelas. The house is spacious and has been lovingly furnished in traditional Spanish style which makes it very authentic. The lounge is spectacular with its high ceiling and majestic windows. It is set in a very peaceful and rural setting surrounded by orchards and yet it is close too many areas of interests. The slight downside was the heat as the house would not cool down during the heatwave (maybe should we have made more use of the shutters?). My husband spent hours cycling in the stunning Sierra de Gredos, we visited numerous villages - our favourite being Poyales del Hoyo just 5 mns drive from the house. The natural pools were a hit with the children (11 & 12) and so were the go apes parks. The village fiestas are great fun - we recommend the one in Santa Cruz del Valle with its encierro (run of the bulls). We just about found the time to visit Avila which is 1hr 1/2 drive from the house and takes you through spectacular mountain scenery. Jose, the lovely owner, speaks excellent English and ensured that all was in place for us to enjoy our stay. Definitely a place to recommend - one of the best holidays we've had as a family!
