"What a wonderful experience! We loved the beautifully appointed, roomy home and its private outdoor terrace. We loved seeing the cows go out in the mornings down the ancient street, and hearing the sheep (bells jingling) make their return in the evening. We loved the three friendly horses who lived around the corner, which my daughter got to hand-feed every day. We loved the convenient proximity to Avila and the fact that the house was ideally situated for our daytrips to Segovia, Salamanca, El Escorial, Toledo (a bit long, but doable), and the remarkable Sierra de Gredos. If you are looking for a central, quaint, extremely comfortable home (with a huge, well-stocked kitchen) as a base for your exploration of Castile with your family, you truly need look no further."
