Wow, what a gem. We made the reservation on airbnb after 23:00 the day before we arrived. We were greeted by Marie Angel The building has very large rooms, amazing old paintings, and the history is rich. Private parking on site, nice hot water showers, handicap accessible toilets, kitchen, and flexible checkout was a plus. Wifi is good, but the ISP connection of the small town can be intermittent sometimes, I'm told. It's too bad that we only had one night. Overall La Bastida is a great hub to go on wine and dine tours of La Rioja valley. Late night dinner at the nearby Alai restaurant and bar is great, try the grilled squid. Make sure to book a 10euro/person tour at CVNE winery in Haro; the cellar where they long-term store wines is a dream. And make sure you go to La Guardia walled town, and try to get to the top of the bell tower, 2euro/pax. We were only in Rioja valley for 24 hours, but we will be back soon, and will stay at Solar De Quintano.
