Nestled between the villages of El Repilado and La Corte de Cortegana, within the protected landscapes of Sierra de Aracena National Park, Finca Bravo is a historic 100-year-old farmhouse set atop a hill on a serene 6.3-hectare (15.5-acre) plot. This charming property offers sweeping panoramic views of the rolling countryside, with its south and southwest-facing orientation ensuring sunlit days and golden sunsets.
The estate features a two-story main house seamlessly connected to three rural apartments and one stand alone cottage. Each apartment boasts its own entrance and terrace, blending rustic authenticity with modern comfort while ensuring privacy for guests. Perched on elevated grounds, every angle of the finca frames the lush, unspoiled surroundings—a tapestry of wooded valleys and meadows.
Your Green Getaway
Steeped in history, Finca Bravo once formed part of a large 36-hectare estate raising Iberian pigs (Pata Negra). Today, the land remains shaped by centuries of traditional farming, showcasing the iconic dehesa ecosystem—a harmonious blend of cork and holm oaks spaced evenly across the undulating terrain. These evergreen giants provide year-round sanctuary for diverse wildlife, particularly bird species that make the area a haven for birdwatchers and nature lovers.

The undergrowth is one of wild flowers (foxgloves, lavender, lupin, jaras, wild orchids etc), shrubby bushes and grassland.

Contrary to most areas in the South of Spain, our Finca is unusually lush and green thanks to the influence of the Atlantic Ocean. From March to June, the Finca is covered in a carpets of subsequent yellow, white and purple flowers.

Our plot also contains a cut flower garden and a huerta (vegetable plot) where we produce year round vegetables and several fruit trees: orange, fig, apple, quince, prune, olive, pear, lemon, etc.

Off Grid Living
What makes Finca Bravo that bit greener is our commitment to sustainability. We want to respect and take care of our environment here in the Sierra. That’s why the Finca is completely off-grid. For this reason, we have adopted the following practices:
◆ relying 100% on solar panels and batteries for our energy consumption
◆ heating our water with solar thermal collectors
◆ using ecological cleaning products
◆ low-consumption lighting
◆ using our own spring water
◆ reusable soap dispensers rather than single-use bathroom amenities
