This was by far the most interesting of any place we have stayed at over the years. Keep in mind, this house is on a working farm. It is not a luxury get away. It is a bit rustic which makes it all the more fun for everyone.
Maurice was not able to be in site but was always quickly available on WhatsApp. We arrived late at night and thankfully had a driver, Rafael, take part of our group in a van to the house. We had rented two cars and followed very closely behind. Would have been challenging to find the place at night without him.
Ricardo met us at the house and welcomed us. We had made arrangements for his wife, Abby, to have a small snack waiting for us.
We also had her prepare a traditional local breakfast for the next day.
We quickly feel in love with their family and now have many fond memories. ❤. Our 4 grandkids ages 9,9 11, and 13, love to help and work. Quickly 2 of them went up to the adjoining farm and helped out Teresa with tending to the farm animals. Feeding, cleaning stalls, grinding feed, gathering eggs, milking goats, etc. The other two boys went out and helped Ricardo in the massive organic garden.
Lots to see in the area. Some challenging roads but for us 4x4 bit needed.
Abby made several meals for us and all were good traditional meals. We had them over one evening for dinner where the three ladies teamed up and we taught her how to make lasagne. So fun. We were truly sad to leave them. We had little gifts for their two kids and with tears in my wife's eyes left. We have stayed at much fancier places, but none as
memorable as this.
