We were both born in Madrid. Some years ago, we visited the little-known area in the north of Burgos province called the Merindades and we fell in love with it. So we decided to move here and find a way to share the place with other people, who love exploring nature and enjoying its tranquility like us.
We built La Casita and El Mirador ourselves using ecological materials like wood and straw. Perhaps this is why we think the house is so cosy. We are sure that people who come and stay with us, will enjoy the comfortable rooms as much as the garden and mountain views from the terrace all year round, and the welcoming wood stove in the colder seasons.
Once our house was built, it was time to gradually increase the family and now we have one dog (Lucas), four cats (Michi, Panceta, Comino and Canelita) and two horses (Whiskey and Swing). Our guests can also enjoy their company.
La Casita is located in the little village of Villabáscones, in the Merindad of Sotoscueva of Burgos province in northern Spain.
In addition to gas central heating, the living room has a cosy wood stove for the colder months of the year.
The kitchen is fully equipped with fridge-freezer, dishwasher, a washing machine/dryer, oven, microwave, toaster, electric juicer, mixer, pressure cooker...
One with a queen-size double bed, and the other with two single beds each 90cms wide. The beds all have wooden slat bases, latex mattresses and 100% cotton sheets.
Each room has its own bathroom equipped with shower, basin and toilet.
Equipped with garden furniture to enjoy spectacular views.
It has central heating, direct access by paved road and has a place to leave the car.
The dining room includes a wood stove and the table can be opened. The kitchen has a fridge and dishwasher, in addition to the necessary utensils.
In the living room there is a sofa bed of 1.40 x 1.85, television, books, movies ... There are also indirect lights in all rooms.
The bedroom has a queen-size double bed with wooden slat based, latex mattresses and 100% cotton sheets. Also it has a curious antique wardrobe with shelves and hanger bar.
In the bathroom there is a comfortable shower with soap and shampoo dispensers, sink, toilet, space to leave everything needed for the bathroom and hairdryer.
From the large garden, which includes wooden furniture, you can enjoy wonderful views.
