La anfitriona es un 100/10 es amable , servicial , muy atenta a todo lo que se necesita y siempre ayudando a que la estadía sea cómoda. El desayuno es variado , te preguntan sobre alergias y preferencias y es muy completo, fruta , ensalada , tostadas y variedad de preparaciones en huevos y complementos.

We loved our 5 night stay with Señora Yolanda and her family. We felt like part of the family and were looked after so well. The breakfasts were delicious and beautifully presented. We stayed in room 5, which is simple but clean, and has a huge terrace from which we watched lots of beautiful birds. We would recommend this very highly.Posted on Alex JaimesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Tal como se ve es, y todo lo bueno de los anfitriones es verdad. Llame en la noche, para llegar, súper atentos. En las terrazas llegan diversas aves.
