Family-friendly holiday rentals in Candeleda

We were very comfortable during our stay. The accommodation had everything we needed to feel at home: clean, well-equipped and in an ideal location. Undoubtedly, an excellent option to rest and enjoy. Highly recommended!

Everything was great , it was very friendly when waiting at 1 in the morning that we arrived because I had to work and at the exit he let us go later , the house was quite big more than what you see in the photos, a lot of tranquility and very close to the center of Ávila just 10m away, definitely recommended, we hope to return, thank you very much for such good attention, this is a pleasure.

Everything was as described. Yosua responded very quickly and even took the time to bring us a crib for my little daughter. Thank you very much, we look forward to returning soon!

We had a great time. The house was super clean, very comfortable and spacious, both the common areas and the rooms. You have a lot of utensils to be able to cook there without problems, leisure with foosball, Ping pong, bicycles... in the village you can take walks in a very beautiful environment, it has several bars, a shop and in 15 minutes by car it is in Talavera. A joy of place and a luck with people like Paqui, charming and at your disposal at all times.

A wonderful stay to enjoy as a couple and in an ideal environment for hiking routes. The little house has everything you need and is extremely comfortable. It will be the first option if we decide to come back in the Jerte area.

This is the second time I've visited Maria's place, and every time I come it's even better or there's something new. Maria is constantly concerned with improving the place and making guests feel at home and what's even better… that they love it and come back at all costs. For my part, she succeeded, I came back, I'll come back, and I know she'll do the same with you.

everything perfect,the house,the area and especially the host

Unbeatable house, garden, sites and gastronomy between Almanzor and Covatilla, all the amenities, with thousands of possibilities in the countryside, very cozy and quiet.

It is a large, clean, tidy and very spacious apartment, very well located and with a parking area without any problems. Communication with Jose Luís has been super easy and very accessible at all times. Of course, it is a highly recommended apartment

the stay was fantastic. the house is very spacious and the giant plot. we really enjoyed the time there. the very friendly and responsive owner. i highly recommend it

It's a very comfortable house, we were great and the beds are very comfortable, the house is ideal. Diego was always very attentive and if you had any questions or problems, he immediately took care of us. It is very well located. If we are back in the area, we will definitely return to your accommodation.

Juana's place is ideal for those looking to visit the picturesque village of La Alverca, as it is very close, allowing you to go out to the village on foot. Despite being so close, we feel in a perfectly private and charming place in a corner of nature and tranquility. I recommend it to anyone who wants to visit the area or just spend a few days in the middle of nature!

This apartment is very well located, the area is centrally located, quiet, the bus goes through the street where the apartment is and has a Mercadona one block away. Pablo is very friendly, friendly and was always aware of if we had any questions. The apartment as such was very clean and we had everything we needed to have a good vacation. 100% recommended.

Alberto is a great host, attentive at all times, very communicative, he has everything very well scheduled and explained. The house and location are perfect for spending a few days with family or friends resting and relaxing in the middle of nature next to the San Juan reservoir with numerous activities of all kinds and ages to do. In short, we had a fantastic few days of rest as a family. The La Ermita restaurant near the house has wonderful food and the service is very good. We will be back !

Really Lovely accommodation, next to the main square. Will definitely be back🥰🥰

We had a great week at Irene's place. The outside is very private, not overlooked, and the pool as well as the view is amazing. The interior of the house is beautiful. Quiet, 30 minutes from Madrid. We would recommend Irene's house without hesitation.

Everything is great. The house is as described and as it appears in the photos. The rooms and bathrooms are very large and clean. It is easy to get to and is very comfortable if you are going to visit Puy du Fou, as you can get there quickly and without getting lost. The only thing is that we had the pool and it was not available. So, if it is one of your requirements, I recommend that you ask Miguel Ángel first if it is operational. In short, good. I will recommend it and repeat if I have the chance. Miguel Ángel is super friendly and always available and makes the stay very pleasant.

We had a wonderful weekend with friends. The house is ideal for this and the pool with unbeatable views. Susana was very kind, flexible and communicative.

From the post-card perfect town of Candeleda with its medieval church and flower-lined lanes, you head up a steep road, winding above the Gorge of Santa Maria, with its rushing water and natural pools, looking over the jagged Sierra de Gredos mountains. Tucked in a deep thicket of pine trees, next to an olive grove, is a house. Carmela and Jacobo's house. It looks quant, all brick red stucco and wood-timbered frames... but it is not just any house. It is a magic house. You enter into a world of calm and serenity. The entire house is cool - go ahead, take off your shoes, feel the cool terracotta slabs beneath your feet. This is thanks to the technological wonder of Aerothermia - a cooling/heating system that runs under the floors and keeps the whole house an even temperature - it was a glorious drench of cool during the searing days of August. There are two small bedrooms, each with two beds and a grand window looking out over the valley, the village of Candeleda and the mountains below. The master bedroom is a refuge with a large bed, comfy and welcoming, a master bath with two sinks and a double shower, and a vast jacuzzi that was out of order during our stay - but it was too hot for jacuzzis anyway. The best part of the bedroom is the vast window over the bed looking into an ancient olive grove, like a painting, but not still life, real life. Be sure to keep those blinds open. There is another small bath, and then the huge kitchen / living room. Every wall is a window. There's a pine forest out the kitchen, a thick garden of flowers and trees from one side of the living room, and then the massive wall-sized windows overlooking the valley. Enjoy the view from two cozy-fat sofas, with no TV to disturb you. Where one might be is a fireplace which should be glorious in winter. Kitchen is fully stocked with whatever you need, living room as lots of lamps, a big table for dining, a desk for working, and a rocking chair by the window that my youngest son claimed for his own. Head out the kitchen and follow the stone path to a clearing in the woods, the bosque. This is where you hang your clothes while surrounded by the hum of birds, the rustle of something in the woods, the breeze off the valley below. If you have to do laundry, this is the way to do it. And if you don't want to, the wonderful Bea can be hired to help you out. There is also a stone table, perfect for morning coffee. Back in the house, the best part awaits - the terrace, the size of a tennis court, overlooking Candeleda to the left, the valley in front, and the Gredos mountains to the left. Sunsets are a dizzying palette of peach and pink, a swash of purple, then the sky falls and night rises. With it a million stars, every star, Saturn and Jupiter too. This is where you'll want to spend your nights, every night. But then it is day and the heat rises like a furnace, so head out the front door, follow the gray-brick road, winding down to the swimming pool. Surrounded by lemon and orange trees, the pool is deep enough for cannon balls, placid enough for floating. There are several lounge chairs and the best place for them is tucked under the grove of trees - who needs an umbrella? What else do you need to need to know? Well, this magic casa has 3 other rentals on its property - two small apartments under the giant terrace, and a little bungalow down by the road. So, you'll find people about, at the pool, on the paths, this is not isolation. And speaking of, you are just a 8 minute walk downhill to the lively little village of Candeleda and its natural swimming pools (Carreras and Palomas), many restaurants (don't miss La Barranca and Casa Pepe) and lively Plaza Castillo. But what goes down must go up, and it is a very steep climb up. I'm tough, the only person in the world who loves burpees, and that climb nearly killed me under the sun. At dusk it was fine, as long as the sun wasn't slicing into my back, it was okay. But be aware of it if you plan on coming here without a car. BUT, climbing is all a part of Candeleda. There are numerous hiking routes all over the region, one of the best, Puerto de Candeleda, goes right past the magic house. So, bring your hiking shoes. Some other things, I read other reviews here about the heat and the bugs. Well, the aerothermia solved the heat problem and there are sturdy mosquito nets over every window. Water comes fresh from the mountain via a well, and it did run out a few times, usually late at night, and we were prepared as we had filled up plastic jugs from the fountain down at the entrance to the pueblo. Overall, I would love to go back every weekend, every holiday, every summer... but for now, my family and I have our memories of our magic house in the woods, high above Candeleda. Thank you Carmela and Jacobo for sharing it with us.

iIt was perfect place to enjoy and refresh during stay. landlord is very kinfd and explain well. I want to visit once again

Clean stay and unbeatable host. We had a health problem and it immediately helped us out. we'll be back.

We really liked the house, it has a very special charm. Charming hosts. We'll be back for sure.

The house is great. Super clean and very comfortable. We had a wonderful few days. It's also great for dogs because it's all fenced in, so there's no risk of them escaping.

This is a brilliant house. It is a little rough round the edges, but with large entertaining spaces and an excellent garden. We travelled as 4x families of 4, with 8 children aged between 2 and 7yrs. The pool is great - half of it is shallow enough for a 5-6yo to stand up in. The padel court is a superb addition, we played hours of padel and Sergio had very kindly bought 4x new racquets for our arrival. Padel balls are hard to find locally. There are some quirky parts to the inside of the house too - a cards table, and a French billiards table. There is a HUGE tv that has the usual smart applications. There is great fridge and freezer space and a large charcoal BBQ. The views are spectacular. You do need to hire a car - the local supermarket (BnM) in Las Navas (5-7min drive) is perfectly big enough. We did trips to Avila (30 mins), Segovia (1hr), and San Juan Resevoir (1hr) which were all worthwhile half day trips. Would definitely return again, thank you to Sergio.
