Guest Reviews
- Lesley (9/5): Loved the room, the breakfast and the location. - Beautiful comfortable room in a tiny village. Kitchen could be better equipped to self cater as there is only one place for food which is a pub that sells pizza. When it’s closed, there are no other options.
- Pedro (10/5): Como en casa 🏡 - Tanto Amaia como Guille tienen un trato excelente profesional el concepto de casa rural es perfecto 💯 y la atención exquisita son muy majos y atentos !!! Recomendable 200%
- Elena (10/5): - El trato recibido por los dueños hace que sea un sitio muy muy recomendable. Esperamos repetir pronto! ;)
- Maria del Mar (8/5): - Los anfitriones son súper amables y el alojamiento está muy bien cuidado. Además, el desayuno está muy bien. El alojamiento no tiene ningún tipo de insonorización, por lo que se escucha todo lo que hagan el resto de huéspedes.
- Aguado Jimenez (10/5): - Estancia de 10. La simpatía de los dueños marca la diferencia desde el minuto uno, súper atentos y cercanos. Tienen muchas opciones de ocio y el masaje es totalmente recomendable: salí mega relajado, nivel reset completo.
Además, es muy fácil aparcar justo al lado, lo cual se agradece mucho. La casa rural cuenta con comedor y un jardín precioso que en verano tiene que ser top.
Sin duda, repetiría. Experiencia muy completa y bien cuidada.
- Ortega agudo (10/5): - La atención del personal y las instalaciones
- Gorka (10/5): Maravillosa estancia en casa local de La Rioja Alavesa - el alojamiento estaba hecho con muchísimo gusto y con todo lujo de detalle. Muy espaciosos las dos estancias y el baño muy cómodo también. Amaia y su marido son ademas encantadores y preparan un delicioso y casero desayuno todo era perfecto
- Steffi (10/5): - Es war wunderbar, nach einer langen Fahrt in Samaniego anzukommen und dann soo herzlich empfangen zu werden!
Vielen, vielen Dank für den superschönen Aufenthalt an Amaiana und Guillermo 😘!

- Hugo (10/5): Muy recomendable - Muy bonito, limpio y silencioso
- CARLOS (9/5): -

- Alaitz (10/5): ✨ Atención maravillosa, desayunos caseros y una relación calidad-precio excelente en La Rioja ✨ - Nuestra estancia en esta casa ha sido mucho más que un simple alojamiento, ha sido una experiencia llena de detalles y cariño.
Desde el primer momento nos sentimos acogidos, con un trato cercano y atento que te hace sentir como en casa. La limpieza es impecable y la casa desprende calma y encanto en cada rincón.
Lo que más valoramos fue que nos ayudaron a organizar todo: visitas a bodegas, rutas, comidas… así solo tuvimos que dejarnos llevar y disfrutar. Cada mañana comenzaba con un desayuno casero abundante y delicioso, con croissants recién horneados que aún recordamos con una sonrisa.
La relación calidad-precio es excelente: recibes mucho más de lo que esperas, tanto por el cuidado en cada detalle como por la atención recibida.
Una experiencia auténtica, cuidada y perfecta para desconectar y disfrutar en pareja.
Sin duda, un lugar al que volveremos. Todo ha sido perfecto.
- jegers (9/5): Eenvoudig maar fijn verblijf in het hart van de Rioja met een zeer vriendelijke gastvrouw - Geweldig vriendelijke ontvangst! Heerlijk ontbijt voor de prijs (8 euro per persoon). Fijne ligging in een rustig dorp met uitzicht op de wijngaarden. Prijs kwaliteit SUPER!
- Laura (10/5): Más que una casa rural: una experiencia única. SIMPLEMENTE INOLVIDABLE. Perfecto de principio a fin. - El mejor alojamiento en el que he estado en mi vida. La casa rural es simplemente espectacular: cuidada, acogedora y con un encanto único. Cada rincón está pensado para el descanso y el disfrute. Perfecta para desconectar en pareja, en un entorno precioso y muy tranquilo.
¡Una de las camas más cómodas en las que hemos dormido nunca! Hacía tiempo que no dormíamos tan bien, la cama es espectacular. La limpieza es impecable y los anfitriones son amables, atentos y te hacen sentir como en casa desde el primer momento.
Si vas a la zona, tienes que alojarte aquí. Es una experiencia que supera todas las expectativas. Dormimos como en una nube. ¡Volveremos sin duda! Imposible decir algo.
- stefano (10/5): - COLAZIONE SUPER, DOLCE E SALATO, FRESCA E DI QUALITA'. PROPRIETARIA DISPONIBILE E PRESENTE, STRUTTURA MOLTO PULITA
- Terese (8/5): -
- Yousra (10/5): - This place looks exactly like the pictures and is squeaky clean. The real gem here are the owners. They gave us lots of local recommendations (which were all fantastic), helped us to book a winery tour and made us a lovely breakfast. Would highly recommend staying here!
- Maryori (10/5): -
- Patricia (10/5): Excelente - La atención por parte de Amaia y toda su familia, excelente. La tranquilidad de la casa, acogedora y cómoda. Los desayunos caseros excelentes y la ubicación de la zona. Todo de 10!!! Recomendaremos y repetiremos seguro!!!
- Lara Inge (10/5): Un lugar que se siente como casa, pero aún mejor. Encanto, comodidad y hospitalidad de 10. 💕 - Los anfitriones nos recibieron el primer día como nadie lo ha hecho nunca. Queríamos volver a La Rioja y este fue el lugar perfecto para alojarnos.
La casa es preciosa, estaba todo impecable, las camas son muy muy cómodas y está increíblemente bien equipada. Perfectamente bien situada y con mil detalles que no te los imaginas.. Como si fuese tu propia casa pero mejor todavía, porque esta maravilla de casa tiene un encanto muy especial. Aparcamiento cerca de la casa siempre disponible. Nos ha encantado todo! De 10. Muchísimas gracias! Desde luego que volveremos! La verdad que nos ha sorprendido lo bien cuidada que está toda la casa, impresionante la restauración y el mantenimiento que hacen los chicos, se nota que hay mucho amor detrás de cada paso que dan. ¡ Seguir asi !
- Goretti (9/5): - La amabilidad de los dueños
La originalidad de la casa
- Ander (10/5): Casa Rural imprescindible — ¡tienes que venir, dormir aquí y vivir esta experiencia única! - El desayuno me pareció muy completo, abundante y con todo casero preparado por ellos que está muy rico. Muy buena comunicación con los propietarios, son personas cálidas, inteligentes y muy acogedoras, disfrutan mucho de su trabajo.
Aparcamiento fuera de la puerta siempre gratis. Zona tranquila en el centro de La Rioja, la ubicación es inmejorable. Preciosa terraza que recibe sol por la mañana con unas vistas a los viñedos preciosas. Toda la casa está extremadamente bien equipada, impecable, está todo muy cuidado y puesto con mucho cariño, y eso se nota. Camas maravillosas, muy grandes y muy cómodas con buena ropa de cama de alta calidad. Llevan 20 años y la casa parece nueva.
No podría haber pedido más para nuestra estancia ni haber elegido mejor. Muchas gracias pareja por cuidarnos tan bien! No hay nada que mejorar, fue una experiencia increíble. Superó nuestras expectativas y los comentarios que habíamos leído antes de ir se quedan cortos. ¡Repetiremos sin duda!
- Prieto (8/5): Estancia acogedora - La cama, muy cómoda .
- Sonny (10/5): Toppen! Rekommenderas varmt! - Vi är mycket nöjda med vår vistelse på ”La molinera”. Värdinnan var vänlig och
allt fungerade perfekt. På morgonen erbjöds vi frukost mot en liten kostnad.
Det var trevligt att få inta frukost tillsammans med övriga gäster på ”La molinera”
- Colin (10/5): We loved our stay in Casa Rural La Molinera - Amaia was the most gracious host, the accomodation was perfect and the location great for discovering local villages and wine The shower was tiny, but it's an old building so I guess hard to retrofit modern comfort across all facilities
- Terezie (10/5): Amazing place and very nice people. We will come again. -
- Ascension (9/5): -
- Ana (10/5): La mejor estancia de nuestro viaje - El alojamiento entero es precioso, una casona preciosa. En las habitaciones todo está cuidado al detalle y Amaia, la anfitriona, es maravillosa. Nos guió en todo momento, nos recomendó sitios para visitar y estuvo pendiente de nosotros en toda nuestra estancia. Además, también es masajista, y pudimos disfrutar de uno de sus masajes. Recomendadísimo! Nada
- julian (10/5): Two wonderful days with such a friendly welcome, a great space to spend time, great breakfast and a fabulous wine pickin - Lovely town in heart of Rioja alvesa. Casa has loads of character
- Javier (9/5): -
- Iñaki (10/5): -
- Henning (10/5): Traumhaftes Hotel in kleinem Ort in der Nähe von Haro - Das Hotel mit sieben Zimmern wird von der Besitzerin betrieben und strahlt mit dem Charme eines alten Hauses und familiärer Atmosphäre. Der Ausblick von der Terasse und vom Zimmer über die Weinberge hinweg ist schlichtweg traumhaft. Ein paar Häuser neben dem Hotel befindet sich ein einfaches Restaurant - ebenfalls mit Terasse, die einen ebenfalls zauberhaften Blick liefert.
Ein Bonus für Freunde der Greifvögel: Noch nie habe ich so viele Sperber auf einmal gesehen wie von dieser Terasse.
Das Frühstück findet wegen des begrenzten Raumes in festgelegten Zeiträumen statt und wird von der Betreiberin mit einer Unterstützung zubereitet.
Fußläufig sind zwei Bodegas, und mit dem Fahrrad noch ein paar mehr. Alles zauberhaft.
- racegerd (9/5): Gutes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis - Gute Ausstattung, tolle Lage, gutes Frühstück, sehr nette und hilfsbereite Gastgeberin, gute Tipps Leider keine Fenster in Schlafzimmer und Bad
- Hansjörg (10/5): -
- Abigail (10/5): Calidad a muy buen precio - Los propietarios son muy detallista. Amaia nos recibió muy bien a la llegada. La habitación preciosa, decorada con mucho detalle y la limpieza impecable. Muy buena relación calidad precio. El desayuno continental con repostería casera incluía bastante variedad. Volveremos. Me gustó todo.
- Rober (10/5): Recomiendo muchísimo este hotel, ya que ha sido una de las mejores estancias que he tenido. - Un alojamiento de 10. Bonito, muy limpio, con mucho encanto y perfectamente situado. Habitaciones confortables con camas de ensueño y detalles cuidados al máximo.
Los desayunos son un auténtico lujo, preparados con mimo y sabor casero. Y los propietarios, cercanos y profesionales, consiguen que todo sea fácil, especial y perfecto.
Ha sido una de mis mejores estancias y, sin duda, repetiré. Lo recomiendo si buscas comodidad, calma y una experiencia única, este es tu lugar. Tener que marcharme.
- gonzalo (9/5): Escapada genial a La Rioja en una casa rural muy confortable - La habitación y el baño eran muy amplios y confortables Me gustó todo
- Maria (9/5): María y Ramon - Fantástico Amaia y Guille unos anfitriones diez! Todo muy bien super sinpaticos y muchas buenas recomendaciones . Por decir algo el desayuno repetitivo, si te quedas tres días como nosotros. Cambiar un poco el embutido i la pastelería .es una recomendación
- Xavier (10/5): Allotjament molt recomanable - Personal molt atent i agradable.
L'esmorzar per 8€ està molt bé. Complet i amb productes casolans.
Molt ben situat per recòrrer la zona.
- Javier (9/5): Landlig hygge - Hyggeligt og meget velholdt
Dejlig modtagelse Ingenting
- Blanca (10/5): El mejor alojamiento con desayuno para visitar la Rioja alavesa - Lo mejor es que Amaia y Guille te hacen sentir como en casa aunque no lo estés por unos días. Todo en la estancia ha sido maravilloso: la habitación, la limpieza, la terraza, ¡EL DESAYUNO!, no sabría con qué quedarme. Llegamos a esta casa rural sin buscar demasiado, de casualidad, y menudo acierto. Nada en absoluto, se lo recomendaría a todo el mundo.
- France Miyoko (10/5): - L’accueil chaleureux!
- Julia (10/5): - La casa está muy cuidada, el apartamento tiene de todo y Amaia es una persona muy atenta y nos trató estupendamente. Muy recomendable para una escapada Todo perfecto
- AIDA (10/5): - Alojamiento de 10000!! Menudo descubrimiento de sitio, tranquilo, buenas vistas y los de la casa una pareja encantadora! Recomendable su desayuno casero y qué decir de la mermelada casera, deliciosa. 100% recomendable, volveremos sin dudarlo! Mil gracias familia!!

- Jacqueline (10/5): - Sehr schönes Haus mit wunderbarem Zimmer. Sehr sehr sauber! Amaia ist die perfekte Gastgeberin. Sie gab uns super Tipps für die Gegend. Die Lage ist ein sehr guter Ausgangspunkt um das Rioja Gebietet zu erkunden.

- Allan (10/5): Exceptional - We had a lovely stay at Casa Rural Molinera Etxea. We felt like guests in Amaia's beautiful home, a modern, comfortable, immaculately clean remodeled centuries old home. Amaia is a wonderful host, very kind, and super helpful with suggestions about local sites. Her breakfast is delicious and plentiful. The bed was very comfortable. The location, in a quiet, authentic Basque village, is easy driving distance to some great wineries, interesting towns, and archeological sites. Casa Rural is a gem. We loved everything about our stay.
- Antonio (10/5): - Adorei a casa! Super limpa e ótima localização! Tem cozinha compartilhada mas só soubemos quando estávamos saindo… ótimo para preparar um refeição quando você já está cansado de comer em restaurantes .

- Matt (10/5): Exceptional - The property is charming in every way, from its location to its size to the design of the interiors. Rich in history and wealthy in personality.
The real star of this property is the lovely family and staff team that are your hosts. They are warm, friendly and just informal enough so you can ask questions about what you would like to see in the region. Nothing. Its amazing.
- David (10/5): Exceptional - Great location and view. Most welcoming and helpful hosts.
- Riggs (10/5): A lovely place with a beautiful view. - I liked the fact that the property was so old, but in excellent shape. The veranda overlooking the valley was wonderful. The owners were very friendly and helpful.
- Heidi (10/5): - This property is run by a wonderful woman and her family. It is in a quiet village in the Rioja Alavesa close to other towns and villages in a beautiful setting. The property is a "casa rural" which comes close to a B&B with amazing breakfast for a very reasonable price. The terrace opens to a breathtaking view of the vineyards and mountains. It is very clean, comfortable and recently renovated. I would certainly return and also recommend. Thanks, Amaia y familia!
- Yann (10/5): - Casa rural exceptionnelle...

- Audrey (8/5): Lovely people, lovely property, lovely location but not a 9+ for us, given the shower and the terrace. - The building was beautiful and in a stunning location. The shower was tiny and the terrace was dirty and seats were broken. Appreciate we were there in June but the terrace was one of the reasons we chose the property.
- Elizabeth (10/5): Recommend - Lovely warm welcome, very helpful, nothing too much trouble. Highly recommend. Nothing

- Luciana (10/5): Exceptional - Everything was perfect!! Top hosts, excelent breakfast, comfortable rooms. Everything super clean. I had a wonderful stay! Nothing. Everything was perfect
- Rebecca (9/5): perfect place to stay in rioja wine country - Beautiful historic building in an appealing, non-touristy but very well situated village surrounded by vineyards. The owner's husband Guillermo -- a plumber by day -- subbed in as our host and breakfast cook and was delightful and informative. He booked us a table at an exceptional restaurant in a nearby hill town Our room on the top floor was charming n comfortable, but not for those who like lots of headroom.

- Yunjung (10/5): Exceptional -
- Erik (10/5): Exceptional -
- Janne (9/5): Superb - really nice hostess, charming building in a typical Rioja neighborhood charming old buildings often does not have elevators
- Greg (10/5): an amazing La Rioja hospitality experience - amazingly well appointed. spotless clean rooms. all completely self sufficient and functional. the hosts are passionate and well informed about everything relating to the area, and current events, and their recommendations for places to visit, or eat, are spot on
- Anonymous (10/5): Relax, wine and amazing landscape - I had a very nice one night stay in the Casa Rural. Very comfy, big room with bathroom. Beautiful walks among the vineyards, peace and quiet and a glass of wine made for a very relaxing stay. Amaia was very attentive from the beginning, she waited for me and greeted me in the lounge and was at all time making sure I have everything I need, explained the sights and even offered a rain jacket for the not so sunny weather. Breakfast was big and tasty. I could leave my backpack after checking out and stroll a bit more around the amazing landscape. I would definitely come back again!
- Richards (10/5): Absolutely perfect for a visit to Rioja Alavesa - Amaia was the best host I could ask for. The B&B is well kept, clean and comfortable. The view from the second floor living room and the terrace is STUNNING.
I can't wait to recommend her place to my friends.
I loved the breakfast - especially the fresh squeezed juice.
The wineries - Ostatu, Gomez, and Baigorri are nearly walking distance - a huge plus. The shower/bathroom is small but that's what to expect from a European B&B.
Theres no food in the village except a lunch at Baigorri and a bar next door - FYI.
- Katalin (10/5): Exceptional -
- Pam (10/5): Wine lovers paradise - We had a great stay, with friendly and helpful hosts in this wonderful old casa surrounded by vineyards and gorgeous mountains. Our room was comfortable and there was a terrific sitting room with a view to the grape vines and vast open countryside. Amaya gave us lots of good advice for dining, visits, etc, and we enjoyed the friendly environment. There was plenty of parking, and wine tasting/hiking/dining adventures all nearby. We drove to Bilbao for a day--a bit of a longer trip than expected through the mountains, but doable, and added a nice city experience to our four days in Rioja region.
- Charles (10/5): Very comfortable stay. Beautiful scenery and lovely wine - Amaia is great. She stayed in contact and made several reservations for us a local wineries. You are staying in her family home. I would call this a bed/breakfast type setup. Amaia lives nearby and made us breakfast in the morning. She gave us recommendations for nearby attractions. You are staying in a fairly remote village. Its a cluster of apartment style homes. Amenities are found a short drive away. Just be aware. This wasn’t an issue for us.
- Dave (9/5): Charming accommodation in a nice quiet small town - Charming, renovated mill accommodation. Personable, friendly hosts. Very pleasant quiet old town. Bar/cafe a couple of doors away (nice terrace with view at the back)
- Alar (10/5): Exceptional -
- James (10/5): Beautiful Rural Hotel in a nice village with wonderful hosts, - Perfect hosts.

- Daniela (10/5): Exceptional - We really enjoyed our time spent here, Amaia and her husband are great hosts! Nice location, really comfortable room, great breakfast and local wine. :)
- Anonymous (10/5): Best Stay around the area . - Everything ! from the outstanding treatment from
the owners to the homegrown tomatoes served with breakfast nothing! all superb !
- B (8/5): Very good - Very nice spot in Araba Rioja to make excursions in the region (Vitoria Gasteiz, Laguardia, Logrono, Pamplona etc), very sympathetic, nice and helpful hosts, eskerrik asko Amaya.
Nice and clean room, good basic breakfast. We stayed for several nights and we had a wonderful time in Sanamiego. -
- Aurélie (10/5): Wonderful place in the rioja - We took two bedrooms including the suite bedroom. They were both amazing : comfort, equipment, beautiful decorations...
The best of this place was for sure the warm welcome of the owners who provided us with many advices and checked for us with many wineries so we could enjoy a late wine tasting.
Eventually, we got a wonderful breakfast with a kind service and very good handmade products.
Overall, the scenery of the rioja was wonderful and the small town of Samaniego was perfectly quiet
We recommend this place and will for sure be back when we visit again this region.
