We were there at the end of May. A group of 10 adults and 11 children between 1 and 7 years old. We used both the Main House and the Guest House. The houses are very comfortable. Plenty of space, very large rooms and the beds, mattresses and pillows are very comfortable. The house is very well equipped, very large barbecue and the caretaker took care to bring us firewood and vine shoots to light it, the outdoor terrace has very good views of the whole property. The finca is very large and the surroundings are beautiful. Green fields and lots of space. Very peaceful. I can’t comment on the pool as it was closed as it was still a bit cold. The attention of the owners of the finca was good and they helped us to organize the number of extra beds, rooms, cots, etc. for all of us. Highly recommended and a very good place for large groups.

We went to enjoy a few days of disconnect during the May bank holiday with family and friends. The property is beautiful and is the perfect combination of countryside and comfort. The rooms were beautiful and perfectly equipped, each with its own bathroom. We went with an 8 month old baby and when we arrived we had the cot ready with sheets, a blanket for the baby and also a towel, which was great for his bath. They had left the heating on in the room near the cot, I guess thinking about the baby, they are attentive to everything and take care of every detail. The kitchen, bathrooms, living room and dining room are perfectly equipped, and as beautiful as the rest of the house. Anything you might need, the kind of thing you don’t usually find when you rent a house, is there, which makes you feel at home. Experience of 10! Many thanks to Cristina and her son Álvaro! We will come back!

I could not describe how pleasant it was to stay at the finca “El Cercado” over the long weekend in May. We had the opportunity to stay in the main house. Everything was spotless and beautifully decorated in a country style. We were a group of friends with babies and we could not have been more comfortable, in a super relaxed atmosphere and enjoying the peace of the countryside. Highly recommended for families and people looking to enjoy the countryside.

We went to spend the long weekend with a group of friends and we are thrilled! An incredible experience. The house is beautiful, spacious, very well kept, very very clean and super equipped! The outside area is the best, they have several terraces where you can stay, eat and go out to relax! Lots of countryside to go for walks and disconnect. I loved the house, we will return without doubt!!!!

The Finca el Cercado property is truly one of a kind, and the Guest House is the perfect spot for a relaxing time. We only wish we could have stayed longer and can’t wait to come back for another visit. There are beautiful walks right off the property grounds, the nearby town has a few restaurants and wine bars, as well as a grocery store if you want to cook in. The bedrooms are both as described and the master is very comfortable, the kitchen is well stocked, and the living area is amazing for a cozy fire and hangout space. Cristina is also a lovely host, with all kinds of local recommendations, flexible about check in time, very responsive, etc. My partner and I can’t wait to return.

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.

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.

The House is fantastic in the most glorious setting. The host was terrific and ensured everything was perfect for us. It is winter and temperatures as low as -6º but the house was beautifully warm and comfortable. She allowed us to stay with our dogs that loved the outdoors and the 50 hectares of the Finca. 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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

It is a place with a lot of charm, where you enjoy silence, peace and rest in a stately home with a lot of history, tastefully decorated and very well maintained by the owner.

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.

A wonder the house, the treatment, the environment. A unique and magical place to disconnect and enjoy both for families, companies or special events

18 friends we have spent an impressive weekend! Accommodation highly recommended. The ideal house, in detail, all the rooms very comfortable and spacious, each with its own bathroom. The charming owner who has decorated the house with exquisite taste. Breakfasts, lunches, delicious dinners, with products from the field. I will definitely repeat. An unforgettable experience! And the people of Baltanás very very welcoming!

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. Highlight the good taste with which the house is decorated, and that does not lack detail, the kitchen with very complete utensils. Thank you.
