Casa Rural Las Chimeneas

Rooms

Guests at Las Chimeneas get to choose between an en suite room in the main house or one of three adjacent small village houses (or casitas) each with 1 or 2 bedrooms and kitchen-living area with wood-burning stove. All of them feel utterly in sync with the local architectural style. The wooden windows and doors are painted in the traditional bluey-grey colour of the region, some rooms have period deco-ish tiles whilst others make use of locally quarried slate. Whitewashed poplar beams, antique lamps, marble-topped bedside tables and some lovely old prints imbue the rooms with an air of Times Past. And terracotta tiles have been used to provide attractive corner up-lighting. Beds are either standard or queensized with decent cotton sheets and white counterpanes.

Bathrooms are simple, rather spartan affairs, but nothing is missing. Some have half-length tubs but you’d be better off showering here.

In two of the casitas you get your own private terrace with the same gorgeous views. Given the choice, we might opt for a casita in the winter, as these bedrooms can be particularly cosy because the bedrooms are smaller, a room in the main house in the warmer months as these are big, light and airy although there are plenty of radiators and one of the bedrooms has its own fireplace.
