“Beautiful stay in nature with amazing hosts”
We really enjoyed our stay at the ranch. Marcos and Alba are amazing hosts and lovely people. We’d recommend this place to anyone who loves nature. If you can, go stay during week days and it’ll feel like an almost private paradise!

This is a gem in the middle of nature!! Coming out of tourist season, we were practically the only guests. The whole area is from the 40s originally and is gigantic with three natural pools and a waterfall. During our stay we had a campfire. The ranch seems to be in a state of deep sleep. Everything is a little overgrown, the chairs haven't been used for a long time and the bar next to the main pool is open but nobody's attending it, so you're allowed to take what you need an pay later. The garden with the playground is great and the staff were so attentive! The first morning my son wanted grape juice for breakfast but they didn't have it. The next morning there was a big carafe with grape juice, just for us. The lunch was great too. We were able to move rooms during our stay, since the first room, the chale, was a little too small for us and had a lot of steep stairs. Marcos, the owner, organized everything for us and even moved an extra bed into the new room. The ranch is peaceful and quiet. We absolutely loved it!
