Que bela surpresa fomos encontrar no meio de uma paisagem deslumbrante.
Um refúgio com excelentes anfitriões, um ambiente agradável onde se respira calma e traquilidade.
Óptimo para "recarregar baterias".

Lo hemos pasado genial, con unos anfitriones buenisimos, josep y helena. Gracias helena por tus buenos desayunos, la mermelada rica que tu misma haces de calbaza y zanahoria, las tertulias de sobremesa y por vuestras sugerencias de buenos sitios para visitar y comer. La casa es muy bonita, muy cuidados los detayes y limpia. Con terrazas de invierno y verano. Nos hemos sentido como en nuestra casa y de seguro que volveremos para probar la chimenea en invierno!
