Casa Viga Grande, is beautiful! Classic Adobe style, but very contemporary, updated kitchen and bathrooms. Comfortable for 3 adults and 1 kid for 4 nights - a great location to go exploring from. It is very private and quiet with a lovely outside area for grilling and sitting by the firepit.The front driveway is beautiful, and we had no problem parking our mid-sized SUV.
The streets outside are winding, narrow and unpaved, so walkability depends on your mobility. My husband who walks with canes would not be able to walk the streets around this area. However, if you are young and agile, it could be a really fun adventure to walk around, as the houses are so very interesting along these streets. Whether you walk or ride, it is a minute or two from EVERYTHING. Great location.
My husband's favorite find while grocery shopping at the nearest Whole Foods Store - Whole Foods has a bar!!!! That's right, after a tough grocery shopping session, you can sip on a beer or a glass of wine. Very civilized, indeed!
Richard is a wonderful host, responding to needs quickly, but I didn't see him at all during our stay! He is very thoughtful, and caring. We had made a reservation with him in 2018, and shortly before our departure, my husband fell and broke his hip. I fully expected I would hear something like, "Oh, I am so sorry, but we cannot accomodate a date switch." This was not so! Richard responded with sympathy for our accident, and worked with me to to find 4 days in 2019 where we could use our reservation. He was honorable and kind. You don't find those qualities often these days.
I recommend Casa Viga Grande wholeheartedly, as I recommend Richard has your host at any of his properties. I am sure you will have a similar experience.
Thank you, Richard!
