Peña Gorda

Our rural house is located in the Sierra de Gredos, in the town of Barco de Ávila.

We have a rural complex, formed by this house and another. This house has a capacity for 4 people, while 10 guests fit in the other building. There is the option to rent a house or 2, so that the total capacity would reach the 14 people. In addition, each house has a individual access, so the residents of each accommodation enter through separate sites, since they are different constructions.

This is what was the Casa del Guardés, when the farm constituted a mill. Later, both buildings were reformed, giving rise to the rural houses that exist today. It was wanted to safeguard the country atmosphere so characteristic of the old use of the house, so the facade continues to show the stone and wood of yesteryear.

However, we have not wanted to give up comforts either. For example, we have a American cuisine with all the necessary appliances.

The living room is a very pleasant space, largely led by the fireplace of wood. It brings that home and warm taste, which turns our accommodation into an ideal site to enjoy, both inside and outside the house. In addition, the room has television, to entertain sitting on the sofas.

We have 2 bedrooms, both with 2 individual beds. According to the needs of our guests, these beds can be left together or separate them. Annex to the rooms, there is a bathroom. Each bedroom has one, proper and with private access from the room.

The decoration is very characteristic: the great wooden beams that star in the rooms, especially in the room, attract attention. White combines very well with them and gives a lot of luminosity to the house.

The house has a corridor with terrace, with tables and chairs to delight with the fabulous environment.

The exterior are very extensive, since the farm where our houses are located has 4000 square meters. The gardens can be enjoyed by guests from both homes, because they are common. There are a lot of channels, which come from when the plot was a mill, drawing a beautiful landscape throughout the garden. In addition, we are bordering on the Tormes River, so the views are even better. We also have a barbecue, to spend time outdoors.Our rural house is located in the Sierra de Gredos, in the town of Barco de Ávila.

Barco de Ávila is a town bathed by the Tormes River. One of the most characteristic pieces of the town is the Romanesque bridge that rises over the river. In addition, we have a lot of very well preserved architecture. In fact, some of the constructions have been declared of cultural interest, exactly the Castillo de Valdecornej
The situation could not be better: our house offers precious landscapes, not only for the river, but also for the environment. We are in the Sierra de Gredos, a natural paradise, with steep and very green lands. In addition, our accommodation is very close to the ski slopes of the Covatilla.

Due to the height difference that exists on the ground, waterfalls and water jumps are very common. If you want a bath area, stop by the well of the walls. If you prefer to observe fantastic views, approach the Cascade del Diablo. Or, better, do not miss any of the 2 sites.
