Casa Rural Las Jañonas CR-CC-00219
About
Nestled in the heart of the Sierra de Gata, where Extremadura turns mountainous before spilling toward Portugal, Gata is one of those villages that time has left untouched. Its granite lanes, slate rooftops, and centuries-old olive trees tell the story of a deeper Spain, far from well-trodden tourist routes — a land of wild dehesas, cork oaks, and boundless skies.
It is within this setting that Casa Rural Las Jañonas makes its home: a rural guesthouse with a warm soul and a genuine welcome. Three private rooms, each with its own key, give every group or family the chance to share a roof while keeping their own space. The rooms are simple, well-kept, and tastefully decorated: double or twin beds depending on the room, private bathroom, reversible air conditioning, a radiator for cool nights, television, and hairdryer. The Wi-Fi works, the heating does too — sierra winters can catch you off guard, and the house meets them without fail.
The living room and kitchen are shared, clean and well-equipped, true communal spaces where you cook a meal together or stretch an evening over a bottle of local wine. This is where the best travel memories are made.
Outside, the Sierra de Gata awaits: hikes through chestnut forests, medieval villages within easy driving distance, farmers' markets where Iberian ham and olive oil are still sold by weight. Cáceres and its Renaissance palaces are just an hour away.
With a rating of 4.7 out of 5 based on forty reviews, Casa Rural Las Jañonas wins guests over as much through its value for money as through the attentiveness of its owners. What travelers take with them when they leave is rarely a souvenir — more often the image of golden light on grey stone, the smell of burning wood in winter, and the quiet certainty that there are still places that make no effort to be anything other than what they are.

It's a rural guesthouse with excellent value for money. The rooms are basic but cozy and comfortable, and the heating worked perfectly (it was a weekend with quite low temperatures). The owners are at the bar "Lo Portoles" in the square (about 50 meters away) and are very friendly. The cuisine combines traditional dishes with some more elaborate options, all homemade and of very good quality. Highly recommended.

The rooms are very pretty and tastefully decorated, they have Wi-Fi, air conditioning, heating, hairdryer, television ... And you share the kitchen and the living room, everything is very clean. A few meters from the house is the Plaza de la Constitución surrounded by bars and lots of life, but without a doubt the best is the Gastro bar Los Portales, which belongs to Rosa and Javi, the owners of the Casa Rural las Jañonas. Here you can enjoy a wonderful breakfast included in the price and you can have lunch and dinner because that will be what happens to you when you try the delicious food they prepare. They have just deservedly received a Solete de Repsol. All the staff is attentive and fast, and Rosa is the best. We had a small problem that is not worth mentioning if it weren't for saying that Rosa solved it immediately. The town of Gata is full of narrow streets with flowers, be sure to go to the natural pool.

Rural house with 3 fully equipped rooms (bathroom, air conditioning, radiator, double or twin beds, and a TV in each room) with its own key for privacy if you're sharing the stay with more people. Kitchen and living room are large enough for lunch or dinner, simple cooking, and playing a board game or chatting. Refrigerator, microwave, stove, and extractor hood. Spread over three floors, the staircase is in very good condition! Very well located, 2 minutes from the main square. Includes breakfast at the bar in the square, which takes the worry away. On a minor note... In the bathrooms, the shower was fixed to the ceiling, unable to be moved to avoid getting your hair wet, and one of them didn't have a sponge or soap. Also missing basic items like kitchen paper, cooking oil or salt, or some utensils were missing. But overall, we were very happy with the stay!

Rural house located next to the town square. We had the first floor. It's a shame that due to Covid restrictions, the kitchen can't be used, because it's truly lovely. Cozy room, comfortable bed, and good lighting. Rosa's hospitality was outstanding, both upon arrival at the house and at the bar, Los Portales, which she owns. Breakfast is included, from migas to toast. Everything was delicious; if we ever return, we'll definitely stay here again. Thank you for everything.

House with very spacious rooms. Distributed over two floors, the first floor has a living-dining room with an open-plan kitchen and a double bedroom with an en-suite bathroom. The second floor has two double bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms. The kitchen is well-equipped. Everything was excellent. The owners were very friendly. The breakfast was very good 😋😋
