Casa Manadero

Situated at the head of the Arragó River Valley on the border with Salamanca and Las Hurdes, Robledillo de Gata surprises the visitor with its singular and inimitable architecture.

With slate, wood, and red clay, man has woven an evocative setting of narrow streets and passageways which transport the observant traveler to a world of forgotten sensations. Declared a Historic Cultural Interest by the Government of Extremadura, Robledillo de Gata is an authentic patrimony of rural Extremadura culture.

Beautifully restored in the traditional slate and wood style known as “black architecture”, Casa Manadero is a charming country inn, nestled in the centre of Robledillo alongside the stream bearing its name: “El Manadero” (the Herdsman). The house consists of 5 rural apartments, each having a double occupancy room, small living area with integrated kitchen, and bathrooms of varying sizes and prices; a delightful “mesón”, or traditional restaurant, greets you on the ground floor.

Our apartments bear the names of the local flora: Lavanda (Lavender), Tomillo (Thyme), Zarzamora (Blackberry), Jara (Cistus), Brezo (Sage), and Azahar (Orange Blossom). Simplicity of style and warm, soothing colours create a cozy and harmonious atmosphere.

The Manadero restaurant takes great pride in offering you dishes made with the finest ingredients of our surroundings and customs, from our local farm and garden produce to the delicious pork products derived from the annual “Matanza”. The menu features a wide range of options: try a traditional local specialty, like stewed goat kid or a plate of housemade chorizo... or savour the natural goodness of grilled garden vegetables.

The options are many at Casa Manadero, and the staff is at your service to help you in any way we can to make your stay with us truly enjoyable: consult us for information on recreational or sightseeing activities, or let us prepare you a magnificent breakfast of toast, “migas” (traditional fried breadcrumbs), fried or scrambled eggs, and homemade pastries. Come down to our restaurant and enjoy a meal or a light bite, sip a drink at the bar or, in the wintertime, roast a few chestnuts over our fire, and after your meal, relax with a “mojito” with Cuban rum.
