As soon as we arrived and took in the georgeous "Gaudi" garden and lovely views we started to relax. Casa Estrella is also well placed to visit mountains, national reserves, the beach, Granada or Seville. On our first night we treated ourselves to a lovely meal at La Sociadade in the village, we could not have been more pleased as the unspoiltness of the restaurants Canillas de Acuituno.
We loved spending evenings at Estrella, sitting outside on the terrace taking in the fabulous sunsets, feeling very relaxed after swimming and floating about on the lovely pool, while the men of our party barbecued and we produced platters of locally produced fresh salads, fruit and vegetables and supping the divine Rioja!
The Casa was well equipped and very comfortable, I loved the contemporary Spanish design and lightness. I also appreciated that the kitchen was not tucked away and not only could you chat to anyone inside you also had a view to the pool, terrace and stunning mountains beyond. The teenagers in our party enjoyed Internet access and the pool table as well as hours swimming.
The house keeper, Rachel, was more than helpful as was the owner.
We loved the local goats and the tinkering of their bells on the mountainside as the bar opened and we gathered for our evening on the terrace.
We will definitely be back ...........
