Great Time / Great Hosts

Rating: 100%

Elena and Enrique were both fun to hang out with after a great meal. We'd share a little wine while we played and sang songs. Elena, having experience as a guide, planned a few magnificent trips for us. She was very easy going about it, no pressure. I should also add that they both gave us enough privacy.

El mejor cafe

Rating: 100%

Si el mejor cafe natural que hemos probado, no es el enlatado o de frascos, con un rico aroma de cafe, en un ambiente acogedor, con cuadros y fotografias, es peque¨nio, pero con un gran gusto para decorar, y con una musica ambiental que no interrumpe las conversaciones, ni la lectura, por cierto tienen un rincincito de cambio de libros, les recomiendo visiten esta a la entrada a la laguna de las Ninfas
