Summer and pool
Mornings in the salt-water pool, a long lunch on the terrace and sunset among the olive trees. The plan from June to September, with the pool just for your group: best as a full week, at €46 per person and night.
From June to September the plan at Finca La Simona is simple: salt-water pool in the morning, a long lunch on the shaded terrace, and sunset among the olive trees with the Sierra de San Vicente in the background. The pool is seasonal and reserved exclusively for the group staying, with no sharing a slot with anyone else.
What's included
- Seasonal salt-water pool (late May to mid-September, weather permitting), exclusively for your group.
- Loungers, garden and barbecue for eating outdoors most days.
- Terraces with long tables and shade to get through the hottest hours without going inside.
- Air conditioning throughout the house for the warmer nights.
- Cazalegas 15 minutes away, if the group wants a change of pool for a day at a reservoir with a river beach.
A summer day
- Morning. Pool time and a relaxed breakfast on the terrace, no rush to go anywhere.
- Midday. A long lunch with barbecue or catering, in the shade of the terraces.
- Afternoon. A nap, more pool time, or a short trip to Cazalegas or the Sierra de San Vicente.
- Sunset. The best hour of the day among the olive trees, as the house changes color.
- Evening. Dinner in the garden or dining room, windows open once the heat has dropped.
Price per person: the full week works out better
In summer we recommend the full week: seven nights with the pool just for you, and no packing up on Sunday. For 12 guests it is €3,900, which works out at €46 per person and night, €325 per person for the whole week with the house, the pool and the olive grove for the group. The two-night weekend, €1,200, is €50 per person and night.

A pool just for you
The salt-water pool isn't shared with other guests or a spa crowd: it's the house pool, inside a private estate, with no need to reserve a lounger or get up early to grab a spot. With room for 16 people in and around the water, a large group can spend the whole morning there without feeling crowded, kids playing and adults chatting in the shade of the same terraces where lunch happens later.
If the group wants a day out
Summer at the estate doesn't force a choice between the pool and a day out. The Cazalegas reservoir, with a river beach, is 15 minutes away if you fancy a change of water one day; Toledo and Talavera de la Reina are close enough for a morning of sightseeing before heading back to lunch in the shade. For the rest of July and August, the house plan is hard to beat: pool, terrace and olive grove, with no agenda beyond hunger and the heat of the day.
