Casa Rural el Recuerdo

Trujillo

Huge clean rooms. Nice breakfast with very good coffee. Very nice homecooked dinner with local products. VERY good wine included. Beautiful quiet rural setting with lots of wildlife right outside the house. Perfect for birdwatchers and nature lovers. With Martin Kelseys advice we were able to find 2 Black-shouldered kites, Imperial eagle and Black Wheatear.

Our Favorite

I have been coming to this Casa Rural on and off for eleven years and still enjoy staying here.  The accommodation is simple, no widescreen tv’s, and everyone eats the same meal (you state dietary dislikes before coming), but there is clear thought about environmental impact, and Martin and Claudia are excellent helpful hosts.  

The wildlife in the wider area is second to none, and in the 28 years I have been visiting the area facilities for bird-watching have improved greatly.  Hopefully political priorities will maintain the environments that favour the wildlife.  Solar farms have sprung up but do not as yet have a major impact over much of the land.  Highly recommended.

Still one of my favourite holidays

Martin and Claudia offer a very warm welcome to their converted Finca (winery) where they offer bed, breakfast and and optional evening meal in comfortable surroundings. Claudia produces excellent local menus whilst Martins knowledge of the local area and the birds that may be seen there is second to none. If you want Martin to guide you, then you must book his time when you book your stay. There is a pool to cool off in and a nightingale singing in the tree outside your room!

Great place for Birders to stay and relax

The first time staying at the Rural and it was chosen as it was out in nature and that is exactly what it is. The walks around the area are fabulous, and the night skies and stars are incredible. 
What we had not expected was the food at the Rural to be so delicious! Home-cooked meals that were sublime, Fresh produce, and made with genuine love. 
Martin and Claudia are delightful hosts, very knowledgeable about the area, the history, and nature (especially birds), and made us feel incredibly welcome. 
Without a doubt, I would recommend a visit here if you want tranquility, peace, comfort and a relaxing time. We have already booked to return next year. 

Thank you Claudia, Martin (and Bottas) for an incredible stay :) :)

Amazing, amazing, amazing!

the whole area is a dream of silence and nature. The house is wonderful styled, international interior, lovely placed things from around the world. The food of claudia is local, fresh and cooked with love, absolute delicious, breakfast is the best start in  the day. The stars in the night can easy match up with african nights, no lights around. A day out with the outstanding guide Martin is an absolute highlight, he found everything i was looking for, and could not find by myself the days before. The area around offers so many possibilities, good for many days, i felt so comfortable there, gracias!!!

Me recuerdo, siempre!

We stayed for 10 days at Casa Rural El Recuerdo looked after by Martin & Claudia and it was excellent! We are all birders/ photographers and love being in the countryside. We sat outside our room each night and listened to the nightingale sing, surrounded by the Extremadura countryside complete with sheep and chickens! The rooms were beautifully decorated with prints of birds, very comfortable beds and kept very clean by Yolanda. Breakfast was excellent, a very wide choice of cereals, meats, cheese, fruit, yoghurt and the best homemade bread. So much of the food uses produce from the garden and eggs from the chickens, brought to the table with a little magic from Claudia! The evening meals are home made by Claudia, delicious and served with local wine. The lanes around the Casa provide good walking, with many birds to see, plus we saw a hare!!
New to the team is Bottas the cat, who was so affectionate and made my holiday, providing the cuddles I was missing from my own cats!
Martin is an expert birder and is on hand to provide local information as well as bird trips, (if you book him early enough!) We would definitely stay here next time and would recommend it highly.

Ticks all the boxes!!

Martin and Claudia were great hosts with lovely food and detailed knowledge of the best trips to experience all that Extremadura had to offer locally. We were not able to have Martin as our expert guide but he recommended Jesus, another local guide who was wonderfully enthusiastic and we learned a great deal. The area is full of interest, especially Trujillo and Caceres, and the amazing monfrague national park.

Wonderful welcoming stay in beautiful rural village in the heart of amazing nature.

This is a very comfortable rural B&B surrounded by beautiful countryside. The rooms are large, each with en suite bathrooms. The continental breakfasts were ample to start the day. Optional three course evening meals were traditional Mediterranean dishes with a vegetarian option available. Highly recommended.

Wonderful

We spent 3 nights at this lovely rural house and had a wonderful time discovering the surrounding area.  Unfortunately we didn't meet Martin as he was away but Claudia gave us a very warm welcome and we thoroughly enjoyed staying in their comfortable house, which is full of character.  Claudia furnished us with excellent home-cooked food and wine.  We loved exploring the beautiful old towns of Trujillo and Caceres and the quiet countryside of Extremadura and saw lots of birds and wildlife.  We particularly enjoyed walking along the beautiful quiet lanes immediately adjacent to the Casa which were also teeming with birds.  I am sure we will return as we loved Extremadura and this beautiful Casa is a perfect base, particularly for birders.

A great base for exploring Extremadura

We chose this accommodation both for its central location compared to Monfragüe Park (45 minutes) and other areas of Extremadura, and because the owner is a birdwatching guide. June is certainly not the ideal time to do birdwatching in southern Spain, given the temperatures (which reached 43° during our stay), but Martin recommended the best itineraries and gave us detailed information that allowed us to make observations that we would never have expected in summer.
