  • "We are very grateful, it has been a different experience, which we have loved for many reasons: - The hospitality we received."

    - We had absolute privacy. - The place allows you to relax and connect with nature, as well as having forests and nature reserves nearby. - The internet connection was great. - Going to the toilet is not a problem at all, if it rains with an umbrella or raincoat is enough as it is really close. - Hear and see the sheep, goats and beautiful dogs is wonderful, plus there were lots of birds of all kinds. However, inside the room, you were totally isolated from the noise. It is worth noting that our stay was during a thunderstorm and we were not at all bothered by the weather or the cold, although it was freezing and there were strong gusts of wind. We hope to return in the future and enjoy dinner by the fire pitch again.
