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!

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.

A charming house surrounded by stunning scenary
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!

La verdad es que es una pena que una casa con tantas posibilidades esté tan dejada. La cocina estaba bastante sucia. Para encontrar vajilla y útiles de cocina tuvimos que buscar por todas las habitaciones. El sofá cama que es para dos personas es de espuma, incomodísimo y no estaba muy limpio. Las almohadas también necesitan un cambio. El baño tampoco es que sea mucho mejor. La bañera tiene caídos 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 había muchísimas avispas por todas las dependencias de la casa.
The property is breathtakingly beautiful, romantic, and located in a peaceful rural area. The house has nostalgic antiques, a grapevine covered courtyard, a pool, and stunning views. The host was helpful in resolving issues with the pool chemicals.

Los 9 días que pasamos en esta casa se nos hicieron demasiado cortos. Tan a gusto estábamos, ya fuera en el esmerado interior, en el relajante jardín 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.

ha sido como estar en una casa museo, lleno de curiosidades y verdaderas obras y antigüedades, 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 demás bien, solo alguna peguita, aire acondicionado o ventilador y alguna toma mas de televisión y la cama de matrimonio suena mucho jajajaja.

The school house has a charming patio leading off from the kitchen which has hanging vines and a barbecue and seating area. Ideal for having breakfast. There is ample seating at and around the pool. The old schoolroom, which has its own chapel measures sixty square metres and has floor to ceiling windows that look out onto the palm trees and mimosas. The nearest village, Poyales del Hoyo, is a five minute drive away.
MINIMUM STAY: High season: 7 nights. Low season: 5 nights. We lowered the price per night considerably in low season. During this period the guests will be obliged to leave a 100 € deposit upon arrival for the central heating, which has a meter system.
