Casa Rural la Mesonera
About
Casa Rural la Mesonera is a rural cottage located in Cilleros, in the province of Cáceres in Extremadura (Spain), set within a calm and unspoiled natural environment, away from the bustle of urban life.
The property offers two separate accommodations within the same grounds: an apartment and a larger-capacity cottage. This setup makes it possible to host large families or groups who wish to stay close to one another while enjoying their own private spaces. Reviews highlight that this arrangement is particularly well suited to extended family stays, where multiple generations or households can comfortably coexist without sacrificing their independence.
The accommodations are described as well-equipped and suited to groups. The overall atmosphere is neat and welcoming, reflected in a Google rating of 4.9/5 across 33 reviews — a testament to consistent quality in the experience offered. The property is also able to host organized activities: a medicinal plants workshop has been held on site, indicating that the spaces can accommodate themed stays, retreats, or small-group training sessions.
The property is run by livestock farmers, which gives it an authentic rural character and the feel of a working farm. Cilleros is a village in inland Extremadura, a region still largely off the beaten path for mass tourism, known for its vast natural expanses, cork oak forests, wildlife (including the Iberian lynx and the Spanish imperial eagle in certain nearby protected areas), and historical heritage. The surroundings offer opportunities for hiking, nature watching, and discovery of the region's rural and gastronomic heritage. The Las Batuecas-Sierra de Francia Natural Park and the Monfragüe Biosphere Reserve are accessible within a reasonable distance, broadening the options for day trips for groups on longer stays.
Casa Rural la Mesonera is aimed primarily at family or friend groups seeking an authentic rural setting to recharge, with the possibility of combining relaxation with outdoor or cultural activities in one of the most unspoiled natural regions of the Iberian Peninsula.

I want to share the wonderful experience I had this weekend at Casa Rural La Mesonera. I attended a workshop on medicinal plants, which was very practical and interesting. The atmosphere was lovely. The grounds are beautiful and peaceful. My thanks to Eva and Gonzalo, the caretakers of the place, who offered us a delightfully warm and attentive welcome. I wholeheartedly recommend a visit, whether to attend workshops or to spend a few days enjoying nature.

Highly recommended. They have an apartment and a larger cottage, all in the same area. We rented both with several family members and had a wonderful stay. Both accommodations are well-equipped for summer and winter. Meals on the cottage's terrace are fantastic. There's also a large swimming pool, perfect after visiting villages. The owners who manage the property are very friendly and have several pets, especially their dog Zoe, who always comes to say hello. You can also watch the sheep grazing in the mornings from the apartment. In short, if you like to disconnect and spend days surrounded by nature, you'll love the area. (They have satellite internet.) It's worth noting that they make their own products, and they gave us a sample to try during our stay, so if you like them, you can buy 100% eco-friendly products.

A perfect place to disconnect from the city. A wonderful house in the middle of a beautiful setting where tranquility reigns. It's located in the countryside, and the owners are livestock farmers, so you can see flocks of sheep and other animals. The house is decorated with care, good taste, and great attention to detail, and the facilities include a swimming pool (open in summer) with extraordinary views and a barbecue. Many excursions are possible nearby, and Portugal and the Monfortinho Thermal Baths are just half an hour away. The same goes for the charming village of São Martín de Trevejos. In short, our stay was splendid, and we were very well looked after. The place is ideal for families with children and pets upon request. We will definitely return.

A must-do getaway! Peace and quiet, total disconnection, we thoroughly enjoyed the roads in our 4x4. The nights are spectacular, far from any artificial light, you can easily see the Milky Way... incredible! And the hosts were fantastic! We'll definitely be back.

My husband and I stayed for almost a week at "El Nido," the apartment at La Mesonera. The setting is spectacular: the grounds, the trees, the tranquility... everything is perfect. The pool is spacious and has sun loungers in both the sun and the shade, so you can choose. The kitchen has all the necessary utensils for cooking, and the refrigerator is large enough to store all the food you need. The beds are comfortable, and the linens are high quality. There are blankets in case it gets chilly at night. The apartment was simply spotless, considering it's in the middle of the countryside. There wasn't a single bug, dust, dirt, or anything at all. All the windows have mosquito nets. We had a wonderful time and completely disconnected from the world because, although there's Wi-Fi, the signal and data coverage were almost nonexistent. Eva and Gonzalo are lovely and attended to our every need. In addition, they gave us farm-fresh eggs, we used lemons from the farm, and we had many aromatic plants to pick and use.
