La Junta del Naval
Sierra de Gredos, Spain
On the spacious Casas del Naval estate in the Sierra de Gredos, three uniquely designed country houses – Las Encinas, San Julián, and La Junta – await. Each home has been furnished with great attention to detail, blending traditional charm with timeless elegance. Antique furniture, carefully selected pieces, and natural materials such as wood, clay, and granite create a warm and inviting atmosphere. The houses are more than authentic living spaces: they invite life, relaxation, and lingering, offering space for families, friends, or couples seeking peace and privacy amidst nature.
La Junta is the most secluded of the three houses – a stone cabin, remote and unspoiled, nestled in dense vegetation where two gorges meet and the wilderness follows its own rhythm. Large glass panels open up the view to the surrounding landscape, allowing the shifting light, colors, and the vastness extending to the Almanzor Peak to become part of the living space, creating a seamless connection between indoors and outdoors. Inside, a thoughtfully designed retreat awaits: one bedroom, one bathroom, and an open living area, minimalist yet atmospheric, focused entirely on the essentials – time, quiet, and closeness to nature. The surroundings remain intentionally untouched: a river, a waterfall, and an old well invite a refreshing dip under the open sky, while the small veranda with a water basin beneath shaded pergolas completes this special place.
Location
The estate is located just 2 km from the charming villages of Villanueva and Valverde de la Vera, and about 200 km west of Madrid. The La Vera region is renowned for its mild microclimate, abundant water, and lush, diverse landscape – a harmonious blend of Atlantic and Mediterranean influences. Gentle mountains, crystal-clear rivers, bubbling streams, and idyllic gardens invite hiking, swimming, and nature exploration. Pyrenean oaks, chestnut forests, orchards, and rare wildlife such as the Iberian ibex enrich the scenery, while several nearby villages are protected as historic ensembles. They offer traditional architecture, cultural festivals, and local traditions – perfect for excursions into the history and culture of the region.
