"Hotel Pura Vida, as the name suggests, distills the essence of country living into a pure, refreshing, relaxing stay. It’s in the village of Valgañón, itself a jewel in the foothills of La Rioja, Spain, renowned for wine and skiing. The proprietors are also interior designers, meaning the gardens, lounges, and terraces feature warming earth tones, ceramics, and charming wrought iron. Rooms come in a simple country home style with plenty of wood and invigorating mountain views." - Tablet Hotels
