The rooms were subpar but clean enough. No aircon which was fine but no hot water either. The showers were non functional and no buckets were provided till requested. The property is isolated and tough to find. However for the price and for someone seeking a secluded no frills stay with kind and helpful staff I recommend the hotel. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Feb 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Florencia Feb 26, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort El lugar está en una zona agreste, rodeado de la naturaleza y muy tranquilo (pero con excelente wifi!) Las habitaciones son amplias y cómodas. Hay una huerta de donde colectan las cosas para la clase de cocina que podés contratar. Realmente vale mucho la pena, no es cara y aprendés como hacer una receta típica, te integra con el resto de los huéspedes y con la familia que atiende quienes son muy amables. ##### Florencia ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Dec 24, 2018 ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Dec 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Apr 28, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort ##### Verified traveller
