IKEA styled B&B. Adequate comfort. Very helpful host. Perfect suggestions for birding. Is a nature guide himself, but isn't always around since he doesn't live in the same place. Poor breakfast. The nearby restaurant of Hotel La Serena serves a good dinner at a very affordable price.

Casa Babel provided just what we wanted, a clean and modern, quiet and comfortable base for our bird watching in Monfrague National Park and the Steppes. The self-catering arrangements meant we were completely free to come and go as we wished. We will certainly come to Casa Babel on our next visit to Extremadura

Super-cute "umbraculum" in an authentic small Spanish village far away from the 21st century. Tasteful, unpretentious, intimate, spotless clean, elegantly decorated, with some kitchen-ustensils in case you would like to do some (very) simple cooking for yourself and your companion(s). Immediate neighborhood of Monfrague is a serious plus. Friendly welcome & essential birding advice by the brightly polyglot & cosmopolitain... More

From the street this is a traditional village house but inside it has been modernised in a very stylish and cool manner with wooden floors, white-washed walls and simple, tasteful furniture.

I spent a couple fo days with Jose at Casa Babel. The rooms were comfortable and clean, the continental breakfast was tasty and filling, and Jose was an excellent guide with a great knowledge of his patch and an easy friendly manner. I would highly recommend him for people visiting Extramadura.
