Fodor's Expert Review Finca El Carpintero

This restored 150-year-old stone mill and farmhouse makes an ideal base for enjoying the area's great outdoors. The best rooms have fireplaces, sitting areas, and separate entrances, though entry-level rooms are perfectly pleasant with canopy beds and direct access to the grassy yard. The restaurant has wood beams and a cozy, rustic feel as well as a reasonably priced set menu. The friendly owners can help arrange hikes, horseback riding, or birding trips.
