El Roble Mocho, Villanueva De Ávila Overview
El Roble Mocho is located in Villanueva De Ávila, Spain. Rated 9.3 out of 10 based on 18 guest reviews.
El Roble Mocho is a countryside stay in Villanueva de Ávila, Spain, suited to travellers who want space, privacy, and an outdoors-first rhythm. Guests consistently rate it highly, with a 9.3/10 score from 18 reviews, and the feedback points to a calm setting and a comfortable base for day trips. The property’s location on calle serranillos chalet makes it feel removed from the town, so you can enjoy the pace of rural Ávila while still reaching key sights by car.
This is a good fit for families and pet owners who prefer travelling with their own schedule: children are welcome, and pets are allowed, which is a big deciding factor for many reviewers. A standout for many guests is the pool set-up, with a swimming pool on site plus the promise of swimming nearby, so you can plan water time without building an entire itinerary around it. If you like eating in, the inclusion of a fully equipped kitchen and an outdoor dining area supports longer stays and simple, flexible meals.
For sightseeing, Torreón de los Guzmanes is about 7 km away and the Royal Monastery of Saint Thomas (Monasterio de Santo Tomás) sits roughly 9 km from the property, both handy for history-focused outings. If you’re extending the drive, Ávila’s old town and ramparts are around 18–19 km, giving you the classic walled-city views.
Overall, El Roble Mocho works best for road-trip travellers, couples seeking quiet, and families who want a pet-friendly base with outdoor living at the centre of the experience.
