Casa de Pastor Tradicional no Rio Guadiana

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 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.

Ecology: The finca is operated autonomously by public supply according to ecological standards. A solar system supplies electricity. The shepherd's house is equipped with a 12 V network. Energy-saving devices and lamps are used. The finca's water supply has 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.

Climate: The finca is an attractive holiday destination in every season. The beginning of spring begins with the almond blossom in February, which often ensures a changing floral display even 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 stove in the living room of the shepherd's house ensures pleasant temperatures. 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. In addition, a mostly fresh wind ensures a pleasant climate, especially if you decide to go on a beach trip.

The shepherd's house can accommodate 2-3 (with children 2-4) people and is ideal for nature lovers who are looking for original accommodation on the Campo (countryside), with simple comfort and at a reasonable price. On the large covered terrace with a view over the Guadiana there is a large brick table with a bench and garden furniture. Here you can eat, rest or let your eyes wander. A second terrace invites you to sunbathe.
