Holiday Rentals in Saelices el Chico

We are two self-catering 70+yr olds driving around Portugal & Spain. Juan is the owner of the apartment. He was proactive & responsive throughout the booking process and met us at the apartment on the day. There was a language barrier but managed OK. We stayed 2 nights (Saturday & Sunday) and Juan showed us free places to park very near the apartment and walked around the immediate area with us pointing out places to access the wall, places to eat and the tourist office. You can park in his garage which is a few minutes walk away and slopes down. We didn’t take advantage of it as we have had trouble with our hire car on hills and didn’t want to risk getting stuck. If you visit during the week (when you have to pay on the street), it would be great to use. Others have mentioned the stairs and there are quite a few (3x7 & 4x8) but they’re not steep and there are small landings inbetween sets of stairs. We had no trouble carrying our luggage up and believe me it’s a small price to pay for what you get in this apartment. It is very spacious and comfortable for couples or families with kids. It has everything you need to self-cater & Juan generously left buns for breakfast, bread, butter, milk, jam and water, tea and coffee pods. It was so refreshing to meet the host in person – we didn’t have to deal with one lock-box or online link and it was so simple compared to other bookings not to have to use any technology at all. Juan is a legend and should classed as a super host – he is kind and generous and trusting to guests. Nothing in the apartment is locked away. Although there is no wi-fi we just hot-spotted from our phones so all was good.There was a medieval fair in town the weekend we were there which made it tricky getting to the apartment as some roads were closed but the atmosphere of festivities was great and even though it rained, of course this apartment with everything had 2 umbrellas which we made use of!

It was in the middle of Ciudad Rodrigo, it was clean and comfortable.

Everything was great. Beautiful and comfortable apartment in a beautiful old city. Nice hosts and quiet rest. Great amenities.

Great location unless there is a concert in the Plaza Mayor

Right in the middle of the city's historic centre . Very calm and family friendly.

Lovely friendly welcome. Charming little house, charming interior and very comfortable. The bed linen was very pretty and crisp, good quality. Interesting furnishings - very homely. Beautifully tended garden. Nice BBQ area - great for families and dogs! Safely fenced garden and good parking right outside. Plus: don't miss the Talho (butcher) - large barn type building - just as you turn left on the road towards Casa Rural - excellent meat & great little grocery!

We visited to see the wildlife and it was a truly amazing experience, the vulture hide was something we'll never forget, the night hide, beach marten and gennet cat and fantastic bird life walking around the reserve. Accommodation is not luxury which we new before hand, but perfectly acceptable for a few nights, all the staff were really helpful and it felt like a bit of Africa in Spain.
