Community
We advertise local restaurants and local products in our home.We are members of the most important island´s associations involved in rural development (AIDER), environmental protection, and in local culture (Tagaragunche). From the beginning the house was rebuilt by my own family but with the help of local carpenters and other workers. The house cleaning is made by a neighbour lady and local products are used as much as possible and recommended to be bought by the visitors.
We always welcome our customers with fruit and pastries own local orchard.
In addition, we support other local businesses such as rent a cars, restaurants and local shops making it easier to visit from our customers.We provide travellers with a map showing the location of the village shops , traditional bars and restaurant, and encourage visitors to take a nature tour around the zone and visit the most representative monument.
