About this house rental

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 with an attractive pool 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.

The country house in Andalusian style has a comfortably furnished living and dining room with a fireplace, which opens into a spacious open kitchen. Glazed double doors lead on one side to the sun terrace to the river, on the other side to the shaded patio with a pool. There are two bedrooms in the wing of the house facing the patio. The high rooms with beamed ceilings each have small galleries with an additional double bed accessible via stairs, so that each room offers 2-4 sleeping places. In the tower there is a round double bedroom with a view of the olive grove. All 3 bedrooms have their own shower room with toilet. The roof terrace on the tower offers a wonderful view of the river and the finca. The country house is for 6 to 9 people and is ideal for a vacation with children.

Surroundings: By car, the picturesque village of Sanlúcar, a few kilometers upstream, where you will find restaurants, bars and shops, can be reached in 12 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 country house is equipped with a 220 V network. Energy-saving devices and lamps are used. The finca's water supply is served by 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. The pool of the country house is operated in an energy-saving manner and without chemicals. The water is soft and crystal clear thanks to solar powered electrolysis cleaning.

Climate: The finca is an attractive holiday destination in every season. Spring begins with the almond blossom in February, which often provides for a changing bloom 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 fireplace in the country house ensures pleasant temperatures. A central oven installed centrally in the kitchen warms the country house cozy and warm even in winter. 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 and for guests of the country house also in the pool. In addition, a mostly fresh wind ensures a pleasant climate, especially if you decide to go on a beach trip.

Perfect location, quiet and beautiful surroundings. House is clean, very nice pool! we had a very pleasure stay!

A fantastic retreat away from the hustle and bustle of daily life. It was ideal to relax as a family around the pool, eat good food, drink plenty of wine and end up stargazing at midnight from the rooftop.Whilst the location is rural , a 40 minuite drive south gets you to a couple of lovely towns by the coast, and North a pictures Portuguese town, Mertola, is worth a visit.Must highly recommend a little bar/restaurant right on the river on the way at Pomarao, right on the border, ran by a Greek lady who makes home made food which is delicious.Closer to the house you have two small towns on the river, 1 in Spain the other Portugal, which you can travel between on a ferry or for the adventurous a Zip line !! , Both have several bars which were also very nice.

We absolutely loved our recent stay at the Finca, it is very much off the beaten path and the stars are amazing.About 40 minutes drive to the beaches in Algarve or Spain, very peaceful and relaxing.
