Do you know the recipe for a rustic gem? Take the charming hills of Spain that resemble romantic Tuscany. A place so idyllic that just a few photos can convey the blissful peace. Add to this the ruins of a 10th-century town, a farmhouse with stables, a winery, a granary, and even a mill. And don't forget a big heart!

Patxi and Ramón know this secret ingredient and with its help, they have conjured a true marvel - a country hotel in a dream village. As they like to say, they have created true "agro-chic," where every guest can feel at home.

Where is this place, you ask? In northern Spain, 50 km from Pamplona in a village called Gallipienzo. Where strolling through the streets transports you to another era, and time flows more slowly. The views are more breathtaking than climbing the nearby hills of Navarre. There, you have time to appreciate the details: the birds' songs and the clucking of hens, the scent of seasonal flowers from the garden, the taste of good wine at sunset, and the warmth of a crackling fire in the fireplace in autumn.
