Villa Modesta is a very fine place to stay. The Villa was very clean when we entered and it is very well equiped. The garden is pretty, with a lot of privacy. Amurrio is a very interesting spot for exploring the whole region. Bilbao can very easily be reached by train (and relatively cheap), Vittoria is a very interesting city, Laguardia is the ‘capita city’ of the Rioja region and in the close area there are Manu interesting walking tours (varying from easy to difficult). And Itziar is a very kind hostess!
