Oozing
character from every pore, this lovely spot with grazing llamas lies between the bus ter-
minal and town center. Two centuries old, it feels like a museum, with venerable books
lining antique shelves, and authentic rooms redolent with the smell of aged wood and
woolen blankets but with great modern bathrooms. Newer rooms offer less history but
remain true to the feel of the place. Traditional cheeses are also made here.

Impeccably preserved
and decorated, this fabulous historic complex in the center of town - but feeling like a
rural retreat - was once a Jesuit

ings, more than three centuries old, house a variety of tasteful, rustic rooms with noble
furniture and beamed ceilings. Don't expect modern luxury: it's the character and history
that you're paying for.
