“The heart of this place beats with the warmth of its hosts, Vera-Ann and Lucio, whose friendly nature creates an intimate, almost familial atmosphere. Deliciously homemade jams, fresh eggs, and the genuine sharing of local hiking knowledge paint a picture of hospitality that extends beyond the typical backpacker experience. It's a space that feels deeply welcoming, where comforting beds and the presence of friendly dogs contribute to a truly homely stay.”
