We came for a weekend to enjoy a few quiet days with the family, and we certainly did. The place is spectacular, super quiet, very tastefully designed and perfectly equipped (they even left the logs in the fireplace ready to light the fire). Cristina was extremely attentive from the moment we booked until we left; she advised us on different activities and places to see and was very flexible with our check out. Special mention to Paco and Drogon, two very nice and friendly dogs that we fell in love with. Oh, and at night you can see more stars in the sky than anywhere else while enjoying the absolute silence. Thank you Cristina, we hope to come back!

Staying at El Cercado for a weekend has been great, the house is wonderful, with large and comfortable rooms, it is much more than a hotel, it is a family home full of memories through the different generations. The landscape with the terraced fields looks like a sea of green calcareous waves. The air is fresh, clean and healthy. The stone manor house has views, fireplaces and a decoration that welcomes and relaxes you, makes you feel at home. The owner has invested her whole being in the Cercado, it is her life project, and you can see it in every detail.

A beautiful cottage in wonderful grounds. The house is a luxury to disconnect and enjoy the countryside. The dogs are great, friendly and not territorial at all. The house is comfortable, cosy and very nice and pleasant. Cristina is charming and always available when you need her. No doubt we will repeat.

We had a spectacular weekend. The house is incredibly charming, with a huge and perfectly equipped kitchen. The rooms are very large and comfortable and the property around the house invites you to disconnect from the daily routine and take a nice walk in a very beautiful environment. Finally, Cristina is a lovely person with whom it was very easy to organize the stay. I hope to come back soon.

Words can’t describe what this experience was like! The house was so welcoming and ample. We were 13 and were very comfortable! Cristina went above and beyond to make our stay inviting! She coordinated a wine and tapas tasting with an enologist on site! The tasting was incredible! I highly highly recommend Cristina’s home for any getaway with a large group!!

Spectacular! Everything has been perfect. From the booking process you realize that you are dealing with serious people, committed to the guests and very attentive. They answered all our questions immediately and gave us a lot of information before arrival. Once there you realize that you are in an isolated, quiet place with a lot of history. They offer you a fully equipped 50 hectare estate for your use and enjoyment with a superb Main House, a charming Guest House, a pavilion with enough space to share moments together when it comes to large groups and an outdoor swimming pool that fulfills the wishes of young and grown-ups alike. All this in an estate of 50 hectares just for you in the middle of the countryside with unique sunsets, can you imagine? Yes, a dream made real. The Main House has a vintage decoration that transports you directly to the history of the family that built and lived there. The character and roots of the objects and antiques in the house are present in every corner. We were 11 adults and 8 children, and I think we will always remember this weekend in the countryside at Finca El Cercado in Palencia. I recommend 100% this finca, we will definitely repeat our stay in the future. Thanks to Cristina for her attention and to Alejandro for taking care of us and advising us at all times.

This was one of the most incredible, most memorable holidays I can remember. The hostess, Cristina, was phenomenal, organizing so many special activities, from wine tasting to a full experience beekeeping, the whole while being a friendly and fluent translator. The wine tasting exceeded expectations; a fun game, followed by tapas to compliment the delicious wine selection, as we were talked through each one. The ultimate ending to the night, saw us exploring the historic underground wine cellar, an incredible piece of history, adding further mystery to the elegant and authentically Spanish property. I would recommend this place to anyone wanting to go. Hiring transport from Madrid airport to the property was really simple (even with 17 of us!). Visiting this house will ensure a trip to remember.

El Cercado is a place with a special charm that can seem idyllic at any time of the year. It is an ideal accommodation for groups or very large families that offers the possibility of being without any problem of services and with all the comforts. Its 7 rooms and all the wonderful common areas are an ideal setting for events and meetings with many people. Its exquisite care with the antique decoration and the details found in its facilities make this accommodation a unique, comfortable and elegant space. Undoubtedly, an accommodation for celebrations and large groups that can enjoy all its services and its surroundings.

This is a lovely finca, very clean, well equipped and nicely furnished and in its own grounds. Had lovely walks with our dog and very often accompanied by a lovely greyhound who must live nearby. The location is remote and very peaceful and relaxing. No Wi-Fi or English tv in the Guest House though so take plenty of books (there are also plenty of books in the finca) and make sure you shop before arriving. Large Carrefour in Palencia about 20 minutes’ drive. Local village worth visiting and also has shops and a bar. Also check out the website as recommendations for local places to visit are excellent and a good alternative to the bigger cities. Favourite was the Roman mosaics. Would recommend and definitely book again if we visit this area again.

It really was amazing and I am looking forward to returning one day soon. Anyone who stays there I think will consider themselves to be very, very fortunate.

Our days at El Cercado were the best. The facilities, the staff and the nature were extraordinary. The Guest House (where we stayed) is ideal for 3 or 4 people. The facilities are very comfortable, the house is tastefully decorated and has everything you need to live, rest and enjoy the surroundings (the layout of the house is very good). In addition, the pool is a good size and is in a secluded area of the finca, which adds privacy (and more nature). The finca is very private, large and with beautiful views of meadows, crops and trees. This creates a great sense of peace and contact with nature. Finally, the treatment of the staff is very warm. They take care of their guests with great affection. We enjoyed the finca and the house very much. It is a spectacular place and we hope to return.

Using the Finca as a weekend retreat for friends to reconnect after a long COVID quaratine, Cristina has assembled a beautiful property in the Castilian plains. The rooms were tastefully decorated and the pool was refreshing on the hot June days. Please note that the Finca is isolated and there are not many tourist sites in Palencia (although I highly recommend the cathedral in Palencia which is relatively unknown even in Spain). Well worth the trip.

The second long term stay (10 days) we make in the Guest House of the property and we end up being just as satisfied as the first one. The house has all the comforts and is perfectly equipped. We travelled 3 people and two large dogs and could not be more comfortable. The walks around the property are wonderful with the dogs, which also make Friends with the dogs from the property, which we are already missing. If the heat is on, the pool is great and there is plenty of space in the shade to relax on the sun beds. In the evenings it’s all quiet and dining at the outdoor table is wonderful. A 5 minute drive away is the village of Baltanás where the cheese factory’s supermarket has everything you need as well as delicious local products, especially sausages and cheese. The owner, Cristina, is charming and always aware of what we might need. A restorative holiday that we will surely repeat.

We stayed in the Guest House, and not one detail was missing, there was everything! As it is a ground floor house there are hardly any stairs and that was very comfortable. The surroundings are wonderful and the pool is incredible. There are also many animals: donkeys, goats, squirrels, hares, rabbits, dogs… you don’t get bored for a moment.Every time you walk you see different corners and all of them beautiful. Besides, it is very safe because, as it is private, there are no cars passing by, and my dog could go loose all the time (she was happy and I was very relaxed). Totally recommendable.

We spent a weekend with friends at El Cercado. The truth, it was one of those trips that you have to do several times in life with friends or family. We had an amazing time and we can’t stop thinking about going back a thousand times more. They treated us like kings. The house is beautiful. It is a very well maintained country house to the last detail to make the stay as pleasant as possible for everyone. The garden, with the barbecue and the big table to eat in a large group, even more. Being able to watch the sunset from the porch of such a spectacular country house is wonderful and a gift that is rarely received. As for the environment that surrounds the house, totally according to the Palencia landscape. A rustic beauty where to walk and connect with nature. We were proposed thousands of highly recommended and fun activities for the different types of public we were. In short, it was a great stay and the owners a wonderful people.

Our stay in Cristina’s Guest House was everything we had imagined and more! The house itself was fully equipped with all life’s essentials, a book shelf with every classic known to man, lots of space (excellent for families with kids) and the pool was picture perfect. Cristina was a wonderful host, so kind and caring, she showed us around her home which was an incredibly intimate walk through time, we were absolutely mesmerised by the art and furniture from her ancestors which she so incredibly maintains and restores. She even gave us her home made tomato chutney and honey which was so delicious. Our children loved saying their daily “Holas” to the chickens, donkey and dogs that live on the property. We even managed to squeeze in some day trips to Bilbao and to La Rioja for some wine tasting in the Basque region. For anyone that would like to stay in a tucked away cottage surrounded by fields of gold and yellow (so many incredible sunflowers growing like patchwork’s on a quilt) to rest in the calm and quiet of a small town (though Palencia is not far away for some shopping and wandering) this is the perfect getaway. I can’t recommend this place enough. Thank you Cristina for everything. X

For a long time we have been looking for a place similar to our favorite place in Tuscany and finally it seems to be found. The buildings are old and stylish, inside fully renovated and furnished often in antiquites, the landscape is tremendous and the owner Cristina is a friendly person and a spring of knowledge about the neighbourhood and spanish art in general. A lot, a lot to be seen around. In the mild landscape and quite isolated place (however easy to reach) there is a fantastic oasis of good taste, style, love of art and of the past. The buildings with their history came back to life again thanks to restoration made by Cristina – the owner. Inside all is stylish too. The additional building is very nice for a family of 3-4 people, practically designed with abundance of kitchen equipment.

Spain at its best! If you enjoy staying at Paradors in Spain, a stay at Finca El Cercado is for you! Charm, history, confort, ambiance, the Finca has it all. Definitely a 5 star experience. The owner, Christina, was responsive to all email communications and helpful in all stages of planning. She was there to greet us and get us settled in and could not have been more gracious. We loved learning about the history of the Finca which she inherited from her family. The Finca is off the beaten path so going out at night for diner is problematical. However it is possible to order meals from tapas to full dinners, and the food was both abundant and excellent. The owner also has a wine cellar so local wines can be purchased and enjoyed, and she arranged for an interesting tour of the local wineries, which are small and quite unique. All the bedrooms are tastefully decorated and have their own personalities. All rooms have ensuite bathrooms, with all the expected amenities AND MORE. Truly, the owners have thought of everything. Our stay at Finca El Cercado was memorable and among the best of our “ThirdHome” experiences.

Two and a half hours from Madrid, in an area unknown to many, but very beautiful, we had the opportunity to spend a great weekend with Cristina (the owner of the house) who welcomed us and treated us beautifully. An atmosphere of peace and tranquility is breathed. Located very close to Baltanás and its wineries, where a charming gentleman named Carlos showed us his winery. Rich and simple food, although you can take your things with you. Fantastic site for family weekend or with friends.

We have spent three great days at Finca El Cercado, in the Guest house, very familiar and quiet. Cristina has been lovely, fully accessible and showed us the house’s cellar. We went with our dog who greatly enjoyed the farm and in the company of Paco, the host dog. As time accompanied us we made a great barbecue with specialities from the area.

Magnificent estate where you can enjoy the accommodation with very cozy and first class rooms, with great detail, a separate Guest House for four people with all the comforts, 50 Ha farm that allows you to enjoy wonderful walks and views, local environment with a tourism that begins to be known, towns such as Baltanás and its winery district, Torquemada with an impressive stone bridge, Dueñas, Támara and Frómista further north and many other locations that allow you to know this region of Cerrato Palentino. In the house Cristina and her people make your stay very cozy, ideal for groups of 16-20 people who want to isolate themselves from the hustle and bustle for a few days. A different way of knowing the Castilian rural environment.

The farm has a special charm and is full of spots for young explorers. The house is cozy and very spacious. It has a kitchen where children can eat and a lounge to relax while contemplating the landscape. There are also several tables outside in which despite being December we were able to rest in the sun after a good walk. As I said in September, one of the best houses we have been to.

The immense task performed by its owner Cristina makes it one of the most fascinating places in Spain and, in particular, privileged watchtower to know what the extraordinary province of Palencia offers “the great unknown” as we had occasion to check and, of course , enjoy it thoroughly.

I just arrived from a weekend at El Cercado, celebrating my birthday with a group of almost 20 friends. What to say… I think I’ve never been to such a special place. Beauty and natural sensitivity. The very spacious rooms of a good taste that attracts attention combining antiques, impressive fabrics with a series of details that exceed the expected, the detail of natural flowers in all rooms, bathrooms all newly renovated and spacious bedrooms. Rest of the house… a large country home kitchen with its large old and beautiful work table, living room with fireplace, dining room, lovely little chapel of no more than a few meters… All decorated with family furniture and a very chosen bookstore that invites you to stay there in that haven of peace. The cuisine is unique, homemade food prepared with the fresh herbs from the farm, honey produced right there, the vegetable garden, all served with its tablecloths and dishes, the beauty of the breakfast tables with flowers and fruits, eggs of their chickens. Everything is natural and subtle there. It is not just luxury, it is the great luxury because this house and its furniture is history, because comfort is extreme in terms of heating, cleaning, facilities… because it is a subtle cozy beauty. The owner guided us and got us to open 3 churches of the area, with their organs, accompanied by a guide or mayor of the village. She guided us for walks through the estate that has 50 hectares… we made one of 5km !! And she offered us a craft brewing workshop, and visit the underground cellar of the house. The most beautiful and natural birthday I ever had. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

They answered all our questions immediately and gave us a lot of information before arrival. Once there you realize that you are in an isolated, quiet place with a lot of history. They offer you a fully equipped 50 hectare estate for your use and enjoyment with a superb Main House, a charming Guest House, a pavilion with enough space to share moments together when it comes to large groups and an outdoor swimming pool that fulfills the wishes of young and grown-ups alike. All this in an estate of 50 hectares just for you in the middle of the countryside with unique sunsets, can you imagine? Yes, a dream made real. The Main House has a vintage decoration that transports you directly to the history of the family that built and lived there. The character and roots of the objects and antiques in the house are present in every corner. We were 11 adults and 8 children, and I think we will always remember this weekend in the countryside at Finca El Cercado in Palencia.

No Wi-Fi or English tv in the Guest House though so take plenty of books (there are also plenty of books in the finca) and make sure you shop before arriving. Large Carrefour in Palencia about 20 minutes’ drive. Local village worth visiting and also has shops and a bar.

The facilities are very comfortable, the house is tastefully decorated and has everything you need to live, rest and enjoy the surroundings (the layout of the house is very good). In addition, the pool is a good size and is in a secluded area of the finca, which adds privacy (and more nature). The finca is very private, large and with beautiful views of meadows, crops and trees. This creates a great sense of peace and contact with nature. Finally, the treatment of the staff is very warm.

We stayed in the Guest House, and not one detail was missing, there was everything! As it is a ground floor house there are hardly any stairs and that was very comfortable. The surroundings are wonderful and the pool is incredible. There are also many animals: donkeys, goats, squirrels, hares, rabbits, dogs… you don’t get bored for a moment.Every time you walk you see different corners and all of them beautiful. Besides, it is very safe because, as it is private, there are no cars passing by, and my dog could go loose all the time (she was happy and I was very relaxed). Totally recommendable.

A unique property for its dimensions and for its interior care. It is surprising to find places as pleasant as this spot far from the madding crowd. All the romos are spacious, with bathroom, the heating works great, the kitchen is big and with everything you need for the cooks like us, at least two fireplaces inside to enjoy the fire, a beautiful living-room and a dining room with some impressive views and big table for all of us. The treatment of Cristina and Alejandro unbeatable, thanks for the stay, we will be back shortly

Cristina takes care of all the details, making you have everything you need in the house and more. The estate is huge and has different paths to walk. In short, a place to return to.

We have spent the November holidays in this large rustic finca 5 families with young children. The children have really enjoyed the walks in the countryside since the farm is very wide and there is a lot of land. The house inside is well maintained and comfortable, all rooms have their own bathroom, all modern and very well equipped. It is highly recommended.

We have been a group of friends with children in November and we couldn’t be better! It is a very exclusive estate, the house is wonderful with bathroom in each room, all taken care of with the utmost detail, furniture and preserved decoration of the ancestors of Cristina’s family, the owner of the farm. She guided us and told us all the details and was very attentive at all times. The exteriors are equally wonderful with an underground cellar that did not give us time to visit and a pool that I am sure we will use when we repeat in summer! Thank you very much Cristina for sharing your comfortable home with all of us. I am sure we will return in summer to enjoy the wonderful sunset outside and the pool!

We spent a weekend with friends at El Cercado. The truth, it was one of those trips that you have to do several times in life with friends or family. We had an amazing time and we can’t stop thinking about going back a thousand times more. They treated us like kings. The house is beautiful. It is a very well maintained country house to the last detail to make the stay as pleasant as possible for everyone. The garden, with the barbecue and the big table to eat in a large group, even more. Being able to watch the sunset from the porch of such a spectacular country house is wonderful and a gift that is rarely received. As for the environment that surrounds the house, totally according to the Palencia landscape. A rustic beauty where to walk and connect with nature. We were proposed thousands of highly recommended and fun activities for the different types of public we were. In short, it was a great stay and the owners a wonderful people. A pity that only 5 stars can be added because it deserves millions more. Thanks and we will be back!

Our stay in Cristina’s Guest House was everything we had imagined and more! The house itself was fully equipped with all life’s essentials, a book shelf with every classic known to man, lots of space (excellent for families with kids) and the pool was picture perfect. Cristina was a wonderful host, so kind and caring, she showed us around her home which was an incredibly intimate walk through time, we were absolutely mesmerised by the art and furniture from her ancestors which she so incredibly maintains and restores. She even gave us her home made tomato chutney and honey which was so delicious. Our children loved saying their daily “Holas” to the chickens, donkey and dogs that live on the property. We even managed to squeeze in some day trips to Bilbao and to La Rioja for some wine tasting in the Basque region. For anyone that would like to stay in a tucked away cottage surrounded by fields of gold and yellow (so many incredible sunflowers growing like patchwork’s on a quilt) to rest in the calm and quiet of a small town (though Palencia is not far away for some shopping and wandering) this is the perfect getaway. I can’t recommend this place enough. Thank you Cristina for everything. X

For a long time we have been looking for a place similar to our favorite place in Tuscany and finally it seems to be found. The buildings are old and stylish, inside fully renovated and furnished often in antiquites, the landscape is tremendous and the owner Cristina is a friendly person and a spring of knowledge about the neighbourhood and spanish art in general. A lot, a lot to be seen around. In the mild landscape and quite isolated place (however easy to reach) there is a fantastic oasis of good taste, style, love of art and of the past. The buildings with their history came back to life again thanks to restoration made by Cristina – the owner. Inside all is stylish too. The additional building is very nice for a family of 3-4 people, practically designed with abundance of kitchen equipment.

The experience has been a 10. Everything has been perfect. The house is a real luxury of comfort, decoration, utensils, dishes, linens, etc. All very careful and in maximum detail. All rooms have their own bathroom and are very comfortable and beautifully decorated. The cleanliness of the whole house is impeccable both in the common areas and in the kitchen, rooms and bathrooms. The environment of the house is beautiful, in the middle of nature with a wonderful landscape in the middle of tranquility and silence. In addition we would like to thank the wonderful treatment received, it has been unbeatable. The pool is more beautiful than in the photos, it is very natural and with a sun loungers and rest area in the shade. The barbecue area and garden table is ideal for evenings with beautiful lighting. Although the heat wave has caught us, the house inside was cool and very nice. We will return without a doubt!

Spain at its best! If you enjoy staying at Paradors in Spain, a stay at Finca El Cercado is for you! Charm, history, confort, ambiance, the Finca has it all. Definitely a 5 star experience. The owner, Christina, was responsive to all email communications and helpful in all stages of planning. She was there to greet us and get us settled in and could not have been more gracious. We loved learning about the history of the Finca which she inherited from her family. The Finca is off the beaten path so going out at night for diner is problematical. However it is possible to order meals from tapas to full dinners, and the food was both abundant and excellent. The owner also has a wine cellar so local wines can be purchased and enjoyed, and she arranged for an interesting tour of the local wineries, which are small and quite unique. All the bedrooms are tastefully decorated and have their own personalities. All rooms have ensuite bathrooms, with all the expected amenities AND MORE. Truly, the owners have thought of everything. Our stay at Finca El Cercado was memorable and among the best of our “ThirdHome” experiences.

An atmosphere of peace and tranquility is breathed. Located very close to Baltanás and its wineries, where a charming gentleman named Carlos showed us his winery. Rich and simple food, although you can take your things with you. Fantastic site for family weekend or with friends.

Magnificent estate where you can enjoy the accommodation with very cozy and first class rooms, with great detail, a separate Guest House for four people with all the comforts, 50 Ha farm that allows you to enjoy wonderful walks and views, local environment with a tourism that begins to be known, towns such as Baltanás and its winery district, Torquemada with an impressive stone bridge, Dueñas, Támara and Frómista further north and many other locations that allow you to know this region of Cerrato Palentino. In the house Cristina and her people make your stay very cozy, ideal for groups of 16-20 people who want to isolate themselves from the hustle and bustle for a few days. A different way of knowing the Castilian rural environment.

From there we went to Boadilla del Camino and we walked 7 km of the Camino de Santiago till Frómista, we watched the Canal de Castilla, ate lamb and visited the Romanesque church. The next day, a tour of the estate and visit the winery district of Baltanás. Very good weekend. The house has also a beautiful chapel.

We were in September and we just repeated. We have spent the New Year in family on the farm with children. They have had a great time exploring the estate and playing with the dogs. The farm has a special charm and is full of spots for young explorers. The house is cozy and very spacious. It has a kitchen where children can eat and a lounge to relax while contemplating the landscape. There are also several tables outside in which despite being December we were able to rest in the sun after a good walk. As I said in September, one of the best houses we have been to. Finally, mention the kindness of Alejandro and Cristina who were always available to any possible need

I have not known any rural hotel with the quality, care and style of El Cercado. We have spent a few days in an unbeatable environment, full of personalized care and attention, suggestions for plans and ease of execution. The immense task performed by its owner Cristina makes it one of the most fascinating places in Spain and, in particular, privileged watchtower to know what the extraordinary province of Palencia offers “the great unknown” as we had occasion to check and, of course , enjoy it thoroughly. And what about gastronomy! natural along with a refinement difficult to find combined in the appropriate measure, worthy of homage. We will be back. It is a luxury that must be taken full advantage.

El Cercado is an extraordinary estate, with a stately stone house with 7 bedrooms with en suite bathrooms. It has another little house with more bedrooms.

I just arrived from a weekend at El Cercado, celebrating my birthday with a group of almost 20 friends. What to say… I think I’ve never been to such a special place. Beauty and natural sensitivity. The very spacious rooms of a good taste that attracts attention combining antiques, impressive fabrics with a series of details that exceed the expected, the detail of natural flowers in all rooms, bathrooms all newly renovated and spacious bedrooms. Rest of the house… a large country home kitchen with its large old and beautiful work table, living room with fireplace, dining room, lovely little chapel of no more than a few meters… All decorated with family furniture and a very chosen bookstore that invites you to stay there in that haven of peace. The cuisine is unique, homemade food prepared with the fresh herbs from the farm, honey produced right there, the vegetable garden, all served with its tablecloths and dishes, the beauty of the breakfast tables with flowers and fruits, eggs of their chickens. Everything is natural and subtle there. It is not just luxury, it is the great luxury because this house and its furniture is history, because comfort is extreme in terms of heating, cleaning, facilities… because it is a subtle cozy beauty. The owner guided us and got us to open 3 churches of the area, with their organs, accompanied by a guide or mayor of the village. She guided us for walks through the estate that has 50 hectares… we made one of 5km !! And she offered us a craft brewing workshop, and visit the underground cellar of the house. The most beautiful and natural birthday I ever had. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
