Finca El Cercado is a unique place, halfway between Madrid, Bilbao or Santander, perfect to live a wonderful rural getaway, ideal for all those who are looking for a luxury house near Madrid. A 50-hectare estate completely walled in, guaranteeing privacy and exclusivity.
Cristina Brunet, responsible for a very special project, knows this well. “We can say that it is an oasis in nature, isolated, where you can completely disconnect”, says Cristina. And she is referring to Cerrato Palentino, one of the areas that summarises the beauty of Castile.
Experiences in Cerrato Palentino
Cerrato is an extensive region located south of the Carrión River and north of the Duero River, and is known for its landscape characterised by gentle hills and farmland. “People who visit us are very surprised. First, to discover this area, which many do not know. And then to discover accommodation with so much personality, so much character and so different from what they are used to. This is the deep Castile, the grain-producing Castile, and it is something that contrasts with the woodland that we have within the medieval walls, where many varieties of flora and fauna live”.
History and Heritage
This region is rich in history and heritage, with several villages and towns with traditional architecture, Romanesque churches and other cultural elements. Because, less than an hour from the estate, you can take a complete tour through the history of art: visit the first Christian church in Spain (6th century), discover the incredible mosaics of the Roman villas or explore the Romanesque, Renaissance and Baroque routes. And it is essential to see first-hand the incredible Mudejar coffered ceilings, something that only exists in Spain.
Furthermore, Cerrato Palentino has been an area of human settlement since prehistoric times, which is why it is also home to significant archaeological sites.
“Those who don’t know the Cerrato region are fascinated by all the history, the heritage, the landscapes and the activities there. And since everyone loved it, I decided it was time to open it to the public. Guests at Finca El Cercado have the opportunity to discover the whole environment thanks to the experiences that can be organised. The opportunities are endless and you never get bored”, explains Cristina Brunet. The experiences at Finca El Cercado are endless: wine cellar tours with wine tastings, beekeeping, astro-tourism or falconry. Lots of activities to enjoy.
A luxury country house near Madrid
Finca El Cercado is one of the 4-star luxury rural houses in Spain. A property in the middle of nature, with a large swimming pool, that will make you disconnect from the world for a few days.
“The property offers different spaces that we have been restoring little by little and that we have opened to the public as an exclusive accommodation. The Main House is a very important house, enormous, with seven en-suite bedrooms, which conserves many unique objects. The small Guest House is another independent space, more modern, but also with antiques. It is designed for couples or small families. Although it is very common to book the entire property in order to enjoy the exclusivity it offers”. These words of Cristina take us through everything we can find in our getaway to Cerrato Palentino.
We must highlight that Finca El Cercado is a luxury country house near Madrid, a unique environment that immerses you in a different world, but very close to all services. “We are close to several towns, two hours from Madrid, Bilbao or Santander, but absolutely isolated from the rest of the world”.
