What a find! Marisa's "loft" is decorated with unique taste, sparkly clean, good WiFi, easy parking, a balcony and a small apple orchard, 5 minutes walk uphill to Laguardia.
Marisa was very responsive and helpful, but we were greeted by her sisters María and Mila, as well as a bottle of homemade Joven. They offered a great hospitality despite language difficulty, treated us as family members by sharing jamón, queso curado and tomatoes from their orchard.
We loved to visit wineries, laze over lunch in a cozy medieval plaza in Laguardia, take a stroll around the tree-lined Paseo del Collado, Marisa's "loft" was a perfect base to immerse ourselves in a quintessential Rioja.
