The apartment, as mentioned by another review, is very dated. It is full of dark wood and lots and lots of empty cabinets. The weather was very hot when we visited so the shutters had to be at least half down all the time, making the interior even darker! There was a lack of convenient sockets, but at least there was an electric fan. The terrace was smaller than the photos show, the umbrella was pretty useless - but we did spend some time in the evenings, when the sun was towards the front of the house, to sit and look at the beautiful view.
The dogs were still there, barking away (another review mentions these) - but they didn't disturb us at night as we slept in the front bedroom. The kitchen had a table and 4 chairs, which was a little big for the space. We found it very ill-equipped, nothing to wash fruit or vegetables, one bread knife, one tiny paring knife and that was it. There wasn't a kettle, although there was meant to be? So we had to boil water on the stove top in a saucepan, like we were on a camping trip.
The area is beautiful with plenty of places to visit - especially Laguardia - gorgeous little town with plenty of good restaurants. We also visited Marquis de Riscal in Elceiago for a tour which was very interesting.
Overall we enjoyed our time in Rioja country, but the accommodation wasn't what we expected.
