Hotel Pura Vida - Hotel con Encanto en Valgañón

We loved absolutely everything about our short stay. Everyone comments on the fabulous interior design because it is so good, we just kept noticing something different, from the artwork and furniture, lighting - I could go on and on….|The owners of the hotel are so friendly and welcoming and the breakfast is just perfect, the best ‘pan con tomate’ (hope that’s the correct Spanish) just so delicious. Everything about the breakfast was so tasty and very plentiful.|A small lounge area and an honesty bar, outside terrace and garden.|Large bedroom with the biggest bed we have slept in.|I feel that we will return because we loved our stay and want to stay longer next time.

I can't be happier and more satisfied about having found this gem of boutique hotel in beautiful Valgañon in the outskirts of Ezcaray. Not only is the place itself absolutely flawless and tastefully decorated but the owners - Javier and Ascen - make you feel more than welcome and at home. My only regret is that my stay was too short but I'm certain I will be back, hopefully very soon. You will adore this place and I trust that anyone looking for a relaxing, charming and welcoming experience will end up feeling the same.

This is a beautiful small hotel. The public spaces-dinning room, lounge, garden, and patio are all of the highest standard. The owners couldn't have been nicer or more helpful. The bed was very comfortable as was the furnishings ||I highly recommend this hotel as a place to stay in the region. Enjoy!!

Beautiful hotel, great hosts, nice breakfast and back yard area. Peaceful and quiet and a really nice launching point to the La Rioja region. Just be aware there is quite a variety in room views, ask for the ones looking out to the mountains.

Lovely small hotel in a charming town. Beautiful design, very clean, great breakfast, and the owners are extremely kind with wonderful service. Highly recommended.

I traveled with my 2 adult daughters. We stayed in a large comfortable room. The beds were very comfortable with beautiful wool rugs from a little shop in Ezcaray . The couple that own this hotel are the nicest people I’ve ever met . They helped with every issue or questions. The breakfast was great with espresso, jamon, pastries and fresh orange juice . They could not have been more hospitable. It’s a great place to stay and enjoy the beautiful countryside!!

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful hotel. We were so well looked after by the owners, nothing was too much trouble. They booked a mountain guide to take us on a hike and even drove us to the nearest town for dinner when the taxi man was on holiday. The breakfast is delicious with lots of choice of fresh fruits and savouries; nespresso coffee was appreciated. The garden is a joy, such a tranquil space to sit and read listening to the cow bells in the distance. We loved the interior design both in the communal spaces and our room. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom felt luxurious. This place is a great find in a beautiful relaxing environment, we can’t wait to go back.

Just beautiful hotel - we looked at everything for ages, it is all done with such good taste and style. The owners Asen and Javier looked after our every need with such friendliness and care - including they found me a fleece as I was caught out by a cold snap of weather. Breakfasts were wonderful, prepared and served by Asen and they both went to great lengths to ensure we saw the best of the area and everything we wanted to do. We were so spoilt - would love to have stayed longer.
