Warm greeting by Paz and her family including two friendly dogs! Paz showed us around and explained how things worked. It was beautiful and peaceful. The architecture is dramatic with high stone ceilings but the part with the tower belongs to the owner's part of the house. Their part of the home is around the other side of the house but they don't disturb their guests unless you need something. Fantastic views across the lake from the hill top where we were. We used it as a base to drive to small towns where we could river swim. We also explored a prehistoric dolmen. My husband said the area is great for cycling. There is no local grocery shop nearby - nor any open restaurants - but driving to Vitoria and getting provisions is easy. The only downside for me was a neighbour's barking and howling dog from further down the hill which disturbed the peace occasionally but otherwise it was wonderful.
