This B&B is amazing. It's beautifully located, clean, quite, and run by two wonderful hosts. No crowds here. Just the sound of the wind, the birds and (a couple of times a day) the donkey. The view is stunning; mountains, olive trees, flowers, cactusses. The only stress you have is choosing where to put your chair; next to the haystack?...
