A stunning house!
We’ve been twice now and can’t wait to visit again. The view alone is worth it but the house is stunning and the mountains with rivers to swim in are as beautiful as anything in Spain. Hans and Viveca are adorable hosts and you can really tell how much love they have put into building this house. It’s a very very special place.

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.

Great house with tranquility and beautifull surroundings
Our family of 4 (2ad & 2 teens), had the best stay in the house. The rooms were great and all very spacious, however, we did spend most of our time at the covered patio in the shaddow during siesta, and then at the pool which was nice cool, and long enough to do actual laps. The kitchen was well assorted and the thought, that everything worked on solarenergie, was nice. The owners are so nice and helpfull and not longer away than a wathsapp text. We went for walks in the area, down to the river and rockpools and went grocery shopping at Dia, who had everything we needed. The cafe "Viva la Pepa" in the city has great bread for breakfast and was very helpfull when our lost suitcase got delivered. This stay has been great for destressing and relaxing, and we hope some day to be able to go back. BR Casper & Latifa

A simply wonderful holiday
We have stayed in many Spanish casas, but never one with so much to offer in such a lovely location with the added bonus of a lovely swimming pool. The booking arrangements were impressive, which gave us confidence. The casa is set in a lovely, fairly remote location which suited us perfectly. It's like a home from home and we simply made ouirselves at home. Hans and Viveca have a vast, eclectic library, but there wasn't really time for reading! The pool is brilliant,and is well maintained by Andreas who comes every other day to clean it, check the filters, ph and chlorine levels which fills one with confidence in using it. The living area is huge, but for us the most wonderful feature was the very long, shaded terrace dotted with Hans' interesting pot plants. His hibiscus produced two beautiful flowers whilst we were there which delighted us because we had never seen one before. The lemon tree at the end of the terrace produced innumerable huge juicy lemons which wereb great for our G&Ts. There were figs on the trees at the back of the house which provided the occasional delicious dessert after lunch, fresh from the tree. The pillars supporting the terrace roof are covered with huge jasmine and bougainvillea bushes and the at the bottom of the stairs leading to the pool area there are beautiful huge clumps of lavender which attract the beautiful bee flies, butteerflies and on one occasion a cone head mantis. The local tracks and trails are fascinating and I walked most of them up to the Torre de Vigilancia and down to the new bridge at the river and beyond. All the dirt roads seem to interconnect so it's hard to get lost. The Dia supermarket in Villanueva de la Vera has everything you may need (Larios gin 11.46 Euros a litre) and even food! Viveca and Hans are polyglot, consummate hosts for whom nothing is too much trouble. We had a wonderful 31 days here and I cannot recommend it highly enough!

Incredible setting in real wild Spain
Lovely property right in the midst of nature with stunning views. Great pool, good walks directly from house either up the hills or down to the river. Really helpful hosts who went out of their way to ensure everything was just right. Loads of birds from garden- Nightingales, Hoopoe, Cuckoos, etc. Drive from local village is 4K on a unmade track - fine for an ordinary car, just need to go slow (takes 10mins). Local villages are full of character - real, old Spain. Thoroughly recommended for nature lovers, explorers & as a get away from it all destination.

The holiday house of a lifetime!
When we were driving up in the car we were all so excited but we weren't expecting what we did get. The house was spectacular with all the rooms very well done. It had everything you needed and more for your comfort. The house had floor to ceiling windows which allowed you to see the view all the time (even when you were washing up). There is a lovely combined kitchen and living room (which is the main room) allowing you to have lots of room.All the beds are double beds and really comfortable. The outside was even better there was the glistening pool and the beautiful views. We all enjoyed sitting beside the pool in the sun reading our books with the lovely view right in front of our eyes. The pool was perfect for cooling yourself down, playing games and proper swimming. It was always clean with a very helpful man coming every other day to clean it. The view you had was the Sierra de Gredos mountains. There was also the table tennis table which every one of us enjoyed playing. The heat was lovely and warm and it was perfect to sunbathe in and get a good tan. We were there for twenty one days and it shone every day. There was a little village near the house where you had everything you needed: several bakeries, patisserie, super market , sweet shop, pharmacy and lots of lovely cafes and restaurant. In the villages every body was so cheerful and they were also so happy to help you. Nearby were also some rock pools which we enjoyed having a swim in and then eating pepas on the rocks, you could go and listen to the water rushing and watch fish swim by. I would highly recommend this house for people to stay in as you would have an amazing time and great fun. Hans and Viveca are so helpful and friendly and welcomed us so warmly into their home. So anybody who is looking at renting out this house should not hesitate! Written by Rosie age 10

Peaceful retreat in Extremadura
My family of four (two boys, ages six and nine) just spent two very relaxing weeks here. The house is very comfortable and fully equipped. The pool is beautiful and the perfect antidote to summer heat. The views over the valley are just spectacular, it is quiet, the perfect place to unplug and recharge. Highly recommended.

Spectacular views
The property is wonderful with its Panaromic views and is situated in a lovely part of unspoilt Spain, great villages, restaurants and friendly community feel. Unfortunately I don't remember reading about the long trek up to the property on a very bad unmade road..not too suitable for a normal car or the fact that due to it being solar powered you could not have a fan or air conditioning.

Na een vermoeiende trip kwamen we aan. Onmiddellijk happy door de mooie vieuw, het prachtige huis en het zeer fijn onthaal door Hans, de eigenaar. We hadden voordien al een heel fijne, vlotte communicatie met zijn partner Viveca. We hebben ontzettend genoten tijdens onze week. Leuke uitstappen, mooie natuurgebieden, kids potje pingpong, dan weer eens hangen bij het fantastische zwembad met een boek en glaasje wijn erbij. De laatste avond kwam Hans nog even afscheid nemen wat zeer aangenaam was. Wij kunnen alleen maar zeggen ga er heen, ervaar en geniet! Een topper!!

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.

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.

Heerlijk verblijf!
Wij verbleven twee weken in dit geweldige huis. Deze villa heeft écht alles wat je op de foto's ziet en nog meer: een absurd groot terras dat steeds in de schaduw ligt, een droomuitzicht aan alle kanten van de woning, en een prachtig verfrissend zwembad omgeven door steeneiken en steeds goed onderhouden. De aanloop naar en communicatie tijdens onze reis verliep steeds hartelijk en vlekkeloos. Als je houdt van privacy en rust in een wondermooi stuk Spanje is dit echt wel the place to be. Heerlijk om elke ochtend naar Villanueva te rijden om verse producten, om vervolgens nog een koffietje te drinken op één van de gezellige terrasjes. Dan het zwembad in met de kids, boek lezen, wandelingetje maken, door de nabije bergbeekjes struinen, fietsen, lekker koken,... you name it. Ook voor uitstappen is deze streek ideaal. Je moet even rijden maar wij genoten van een dag Trujillo, Caceres, Placensia en een dag Béjar, Salamanca, Avila. Enfin, een aanrader!

Wonderful Summer week in May 2022
The design of this house is intriguing and beautiful, and this time of the year the gardens are in full bloom - just amazing. With warm weather we explored the footpath through the forest, that eventually turns into a track through the jungle and brings you in 20 minutes to a gorgeous spot in the Garganta where you can swim - it was our own private swimming pool amidst nature. Viveca has been kind and took care to make our stay great!

Destaco también: la chimenea, la barbacoa y la parcela. El entorno es privilegiado donde se puede hacer senderismo, rutas guiadas a pie y a caballo, golf, visitar los pueblos con encanto de los alrededores, etc. Destaco la gastronomía con restaurantes que tienen platos muy creativos con productos de la zona. Cada vez que vamos, desconectamos y volvemos con las pilas cargadas. Como digo, muy recomendable
