With the feel of a rural hacienda, this lovely red-tile Span-
ish colonial has three smart rooms with Guatemalan weavings and antique tiles abutting
an acid-stained concrete deck. Owners Isabelle and Robert speak English, French and
Spanish and provide warm hospitality. It's designed to be ecofriendly, so there is no air-

There's bicycles for borrowing and the couple plans to add horses soon. It's 2km from
Pedasí on the road to Playa del Toro (taxis cost US$2.50). The beach is easily accessed
on foot.
