Schöne Unterkunft. Wenn man im Erdgeschoß durch die Tür kommt (nach Voranmeldung),steht manin einem Wohnzimmeränhnlichen Raum. Der anschlißende Flur führt in die Wohnetagen oder ins Speisezimmer. Dort ist ein Fach im Kühlschrank für jedes Zimmer reserviert. Die Treppe führt ins 1. und 2. Geschoß. Im 1. Geschoß ist ein wohnzimmerähnlicher Das Zimmer besteht ua einem geräumigen Flur mit Kleiderschrank, von dem es zum badezimmer mit kleiner Dusche und Toilette geht. Das Schlafzimmer schließ mit geräumigen Doppelbett und Fenster zur "beruhigten" Straße - leider wissen das die Anwohner nicht. Sehr freundliche Besitzer und das Frühstick mit getoastetem Weißbrot, Olivenöl und Selbstgemachter Tomatenpaste ist einfach herrlich. Frisch gepresster Orangensaft und ehr gutem Kaffee hilft einem in den Tag zu kommen.
Die zentrale Lage zum Balkon des Rioja und wichtigen Bodegas machte aber vieles wett.
Ich emphele nicht des Nachts mit offenem Fenster zu schlafen. Kann laut werden. Ab 7:00 beginnt auch das Leben in der Strasse, dann ist man garantiert wach. Auch hier hatte ich Probleme mit dem steifen Kopfkissen.

I had a very nice one night stay in the Casa Rural. Very comfy, big room with bathroom. Beautiful walks among the vineyards, peace and quiet and a glass of wine made for a very relaxing stay. Amaia was very attentive from the beginning, she waited for me and greeted me in the lounge and was at all time making sure I have everything I need, explained the sights and even offered a rain jacket for the not so sunny weather. Breakfast was big and tasty. I could leave my backpack after checking out and stroll a bit more around the amazing landscape. I would definitely come back again!

amazingly well appointed. spotless clean rooms. all completely self sufficient and functional. the hosts are passionate and well informed about everything relating to the area, and current events, and their recommendations for places to visit, or eat, are spot on

Amaia is great. She stayed in contact and made several reservations for us a local wineries. You are staying in her family home. I would call this a bed/breakfast type setup. Amaia lives nearby and made us breakfast in the morning. She gave us recommendations for nearby attractions.
You are staying in a fairly remote village. Its a cluster of apartment style homes. Amenities are found a short drive away. Just be aware. This wasn’t an issue for us.

We took two bedrooms including the suite bedroom. They were both amazing : comfort, equipment, beautiful decorations...
The best of this place was for sure the warm welcome of the owners who provided us with many advices and checked for us with many wineries so we could enjoy a late wine tasting.
Eventually, we got a wonderful breakfast with a kind service and very good handmade products.
Overall, the scenery of the rioja was wonderful and the small town of Samaniego was perfectly quiet
We recommend this place and will for sure be back when we visit again this region.

Breakfast was excellent and Ameia was a great host, giving us recommendations for places to visit. Nothing was too much trouble.
We stayed on probably the two hottest days and nights with temperatures around 40 degrees C, unfortunately there was no air conditioning which at any other time would not be a problem.

Casa Rural is a little gem and my boyfriend and I had a lovely stay there! It’s run by a local mother and daughter team and they made our stay extra special due to the rustic charm of the property, their warmth and care and the great location. Highly recommend this property!

Nice location on edge of village.
Nice welcome, friendly owners.
The warm fire in the entrance room makes the place instantly feel welcoming on a winter's evening.
The bed was enormous and very comfortable. Plus total darkness at night. Best night's sleep in a long time!
The hairdryer in the bathroom was not working properly. I was only staying one night so I did not worry. But if staying longer it could be a little annoying. I intended to mention to the owners but forgot, (sorry).
