“A perfect wonderfully unique sanctuary in La Rioja”

The best

SUCH A SPECIAL PERFECT STAY - I will remember this stay forever, so unique to stay in an old church with a most beautiful rooftop terrace overlooking the gorgeous wine region of LaGuardia. Woke up every morning to enjoy a cup of coffee there, which was some of the most serene moments of my vacation. Rob & Terri were SO kind and really helpful, from checking us in, offering fresh oranges & a juicer & coffee, to going above and beyond with doing our laundry when the machine was down. I would recommend this place a thousand times over. Nearby are some lovely restaurants for pintxos, a gorgeous local pool I would highly recommend for staying cool, and one of our favorite wineries Ysios from our stay in La Rioja.
