The outstanding thing about this property was its very large gardens, both private and an even larger area shared with other people staying on the site.. The grounds would have been superb for any families with children.The property was also very well equipped with everything needed for daily life and comfort including a large purpose built BBQ area which we made full use of during our 4 night stay .Car parking was secure through locking gates to the side of the house for which we were appreciative.We were able to easily visit a number of vineyards in the area and other sites of interest, a highlight for us of being in the Rioja area.Communication with the host was excellent and prolific and provided a huge amount of useful good quality information. Responses to text message queries were very quick and helpful.We did however feel that whilst we were able to enjoy our stay in comfort and loved the overall region that the property itself was starting to feel tired and run down and was due a refurbishment. This of course is just an opinion that others may disagree with but we want to be as honest as possible for the sake of the review.
