We knew we wanted to be in a more home-like setting over Christmas on our first trip to Spain, and the reviews did not embellish: staying with Isabelle is like staying at a friend's or relative's. The breakfasts were outstanding, and we even had gifts from her on Christmas morning! What made it most meaningful for us was connecting with Isabelle herself, and the delightful, thoughtful discussions we had. It feels like we left a friend we so want to know better... we are fortunate to have met her and to have stayed in her unique and very personal space.
