The house is lovely and lives up to expectations. Very traditional and well appointed - it felt like the owners had literally just left as we arrived - in a good way. Samaniego is a pretty, little village. It's very quiet but still manages to boast two little bars, a top class hotel/restaurant and at least 3 bodegas within easy walking distance. The village is also well positioned for accessing a number of Rioja landmarks. I would stay again and would whole heartedly recommend.
