perfect place to stay in rioja wine country

Beautiful historic building in an appealing, non-touristy but very well situated village surrounded by vineyards. The owner's husband Guillermo -- a plumber by day -- subbed in as our host and breakfast cook and was delightful and informative. He booked us a table at an exceptional restaurant in a nearby hill town
