Hotel Rural la Llosa de Samano

We checked in last night, arrived a bit later than we expected, but we were greeted so graciously by Emilio. We speak very little English but he was so sweet in how he tried to describe everything for us, from the parking of our car, the operation of the gate, the keys to the gate and doors, and the breakfast hours for the morning. The entire place is immaculate, and so well decorated. We were so delighted when we opened the window in our room, as the sun had just set, and we had a flock of sheep grazing in the field out back. It was so peaceful and beautiful! The mountains in the background were also great to see! The room was very comfortable and had everything we needed. It is obvious they take great care to make sure everything is just right! It was such a nice change to be in such a quaint and unique place. It was exactly what we needed during our trip to the Basque Country! Since our Spanish is not the best, we have used Google Translate to help communicate with Emilio and he has been great in trying to understand what we are asking, and to make sure we feel comfortable and welcome. He makes you feel like you are truly being welcomed into his home. We still have one more night here, and are so glad we chose La Llosa for our stay near Bilbao! Thank you to you, Emilio, and to the rest of your staff (or family) at La Llosa! You have a beautiful home and we appreciate you sharing it with us! If we are ever in the part of the world again, it would be a pleasure to see you again, and stay in your lovely home! Jim and Terri
