"Great combination of hospitality, beautiful property, historic structure, nice rooms and excellent food. Carlos was most welcoming and picked us up from/dropped us off to the Camino since the property was not on/near the route. It was so relaxing to sit out by the pool after a long day of walking!"

"This is a small and quaint establishment with Carlos and Tania as wonderful hosts. Carlos is a chef by training and we enjoyed one of the finest fish dishes ever. The facility and surrounding property is clean and well appointed. The room we had was awesome with a very large and super comfortable king bed. We stayed here as part of the camino, and while it is a little off the path, it is well worth the experience."
