This is a unique place with plenty to do close-by including hiking, bike trails, and lots more for those a bit more adventurous than me. I found the native plants and the geology of the area to be interesting. Besides activities, the house is just plain in a beautiful spot: hilly, limestone rock, lots of oaks and other trees. It's a refuge from the city. The house itself is an old basque village house with basic but comfortable accommodation. No wifi but easy to walk to public access to it. My room on the top floor was big and the bed comfortable.
Phil is a social and easy-going person who makes the simplest things fun. He's also a great cook, throwing together delicious vegetarian meals in no time at all.
I would have stayed longer if I could and would definitely go back. I really liked staying here.
