Eco-renovated guestrooms in Aragon

Rental description

Welcome to the Province of Huesca, about twenty kilometers from the Pyrenees. Mireia and Ferran, a biologist and a photographer respectively, welcome you as friends in their ecologically restored 17th-century country house. They love to share their passion for ecotourism, nature, birds, plants and landscapes with their guests.

The house has retained its original stone facade, round-arched windows and wooden beamed ceilings. The 5 spacious rooms, including a family room on the first floor, offer an extraordinary view of the mountains.

Combining exposed stone with light-colored decor, all rooms benefit from free Wi-Fi, heating and private bathroom.

Meals are organic and homemade: take the opportunity to taste the regional specialties! They are served in the bright dining room overlooking the Fuerva Valley.

At dinner, you will taste locally grown vegetables and good Somontano wines. Later you can relax in the library or, in winter, in the corner of the wood stove.
