Hacienda Pinsaqui

If you've heard the rumours - they're absolutely true - the owner does gather all his guests in an underground bar with a huge open fire, serves them hot toddies then brings his horse in to the crowded room for everyone to sit on & have their pictures taken! Very bizarre but not something you'll forget in a hurry.
The Hacienda is set on lovely grounds and the rooms are as eccentric as the owner - one on them has an outdoor passage complete with garden en route to the en suite! Ours was tamer - we had an open fire & a bathroom with a huge cast iron tub & 19th Century Parisian fixtures - it was very atmospheric.
Dinner & breakfast is pretty standard hacienda fare and are included in the price.
