Casa Mur de Alujan

El lugar inmejorable, ¿quién tiene la oportunidad de dormir en una torre con una historia de 500 años? Quino el "jefe" del lugar entrañable y solicito para que uno se sienta como en casa. Ah que sepais que alli tambien se encuentra una maestra que os dara todo el amor del mundo...en forma de perra, Calcetines. Y unos gatos y animales maravillosos. No os lo podéis perder!! Gracias a todos

Muy buena estancia. Habitación amplia y cama cómoda. Todo muy limpio. Personal muy atento. Recomendado el desayuno muy rico. El único inconveniente, las escaleras que son estrechas.

We couldn’t believe our good fortune to find this unbelievably gorgeous little village. Our chance to stay in an authentic medieval farmhouse in the valley of the Pyrenees, with all the modern conveniences we could desire. The owners’ ancestors built it slowly between 1400-1600. It took 20 years for them to painstakingly renovate it: each suite completely unique, most with astonishing country kitchens, views of the countryside and mountains. Our big jet-tub was inside one of the towers. Vaulted ceilings, rustic rock walls, modern murals and painted walls. Our host willingly gave us a tour of all the rooms, the chapel and cellars. Photos follow. Most charming is that Casa Mur de Alujan is a working farm with cows, chickens, a big pig, a burro who tours the neighborhood, and the sweetest dogs who love bothering him and escorting you on any of the long walks you take down their roads. We asked for breakfast and were treated to fresh eggs and local salame. We brought food since Casa Mur is a kilometer from the closest town, Tierrantona. There’s a small grocery store there. And our luck held: the only restaurant, Casa Puyuelo, provided the best cooked meal we’ve had in 2 months in Spain. What to do there besides gazing out at the snow capped mountains? There are hikes over the hills to castles and churches. It’s a birders’ paradise. The Camino de Santiago passes through. Next time, we’re staying longer!
