Alojamiento Rural La Olla
About
Alojamiento Rural La Olla is a rural cottage located in Las Mestas, in the Jerte Valley in Extremadura — Cáceres province — in close proximity to the Sierra de Gredos natural park. The accommodation has accumulated 69 Google reviews for an average rating of 4.5/5.
The house features rural architecture with refined detailing, visually faithful to traditional Extremaduran construction. The interior is equipped for self-catering use, with kitchenware limited to two of each item — insufficient at full capacity. The water heater, undersized for four occupants, provides enough hot water for only one and a half showers in succession — a practical point worth anticipating for groups. Several reviews also flag shortcomings in basic details considered important for everyday comfort.
The immediate surroundings have been spared from tourist pressure: silence, dense vegetation, no close neighbors. The Jerte Valley is crossed by the Jerte river and known for its cherry trees — the blossom in March-April draws visitors from across Spain — as well as its high-altitude hiking trails. Las Mestas provides access to trout fishing areas, gorges, and the medieval villages of the comarca.
The hosts are described as responsive and helpful in several reviews. The cottage is better suited to couples or small groups looking to disconnect in an unspoiled rural setting. Two nights have struck visitors as insufficient to fully enjoy the site and surrounding area.

We only stayed for two nights , it wasnt long enough ! The area is beautiful and the accommodation is so peaceful. The hosts were extremely helpful. I can only highly recommend Alojamiento Rural La Olla and will return in the near future . Terry McCarthy
The accommodation is beautiful, in a wonderful location, perfect for disconnecting and relaxing. The house is well-equipped, although perhaps more dishes would be helpful as there are only two of each. More kitchen towels would also be useful, as there is only one and it doesn't dry properly. Perhaps the biggest drawback is the bathroom towels, which have an unpleasant smell. Carlos and his wife are very friendly and attentive. It's a place I would definitely recommend.
Aesthetically, it's a beautiful house, but I have to say it's lacking in basic and important details. The hot water tank isn't suitable for four people; only one and a half could shower. There isn't enough kitchenware, for example, normal-sized glasses—they look like shot glasses. There weren't any cleaning cloths or a bucket and mop either. The towels smell awful. It's a real shame they don't take care of basic needs.
We stayed a few days at the accommodations, and the experience was very satisfactory, both because of the location of the houses (surrounded by nature and next to a natural pool that we thoroughly enjoyed), and because of the attention we received from the owners and the convenient location of the accommodations. The rooms were very spacious. We would definitely stay here again if we return to the area.
My stay at this country house was fantastic! Choosing to stay here was a great decision. The location is superb, very close to the natural pool. The house is equipped with everything you need for a very pleasant stay, and the owners were very welcoming. We will definitely be back! 😀
