Great place to stay at! Amazing hosts, great food and amazing atmosphere. My only complaint was that there was no more hot water twice during our stay, but as an ecological farm, that is understandable.

Perfect for a relaxing stay! Pictures do not do justice for how beautiful this property really is. You can’t capture the peaceful sounds of the river or birds in pictures. The dining area is beautiful and the breakfasts/dinners were delicious!!! The property is about 10 min from town but very easy to get transportation. I took the bus into town a couple times. I also took an Uber at night to play tejo as well as to the airport. No issues getting Ubers! Amazing place to stay! Thank you!

I think we got unlucky with this place because everyone writes good comments. The property truly is amazing, the food they serve is delicious. We’ve been put in a dormitory while we were supposed to have a couple room. Our room couldn’t be locked and was not fully closed so it ended up being really cold at night. They gave us blankets but smelling humidity pretty bad. And the cherry on top of the cake was the owner getting a massage in our room in the middle of the afternoon without warning us
