HUESCA

You want a man in a van selling vegetables once in a week in the town square? Check.

You want cute but not too cute, pretty but still rough at the edges? Check.

You want medieval villages, hills, rivers, woods, rivers, vistas, peace and quiet? Check.

You want comfortable, tasteful and reasonably priced accommodation? Well, that's why you're here, right?

We offer two options set in the same carefully-renovated terraced house in this truly authentic village in rural Huesca, one a compact (yet deceptively spacious) studio-style flat with large balcony, and another, larger unit with a double and a twin bedroom.

The village in which they are set seems, in some ways, to be The Place That Time Forgot. Although renovation of homes has begun, it still retains the character of the Spain of thirty or more years ago: the locals still greet strangers courteously, and will be delighted to gossip with you, should your Spanish be up to it. During the summer months, there is a open-air swimming pool in the village with an attached bar, where the you can cool off by splashing around with the locals. Also, delicious home-made bread can be ordered from Vera, the lady who will receive you

The local area is within a short(ish) drive of the Pyrenees, whilst the local market town (around 15 minute away by car) boasts, in addition to a range of supermarkets and shops, a reservoir with watersports, for those of you of an aquatic bent. Also available locally is horse-riding and guided wild mushroom gathering.

The house is divided as follows:
