The little, six-room B&B just outside the gate of the main spa is a real favorite. The rooms are comfortable and free of TV. No other appliances either, but guests are welcome to use the adjacent kitchen, which has everything. Pleasant indoor and outdoor sitting and breakfast tables.
The breakfast is really fine. Deserves to be called gourmet, because much is home-grown as well as home-made. It's different every day, and personally prepared by a friendly staff - and sometimes by the owners. These two ladies have been here for a long time - as I can attest from frequent stays. This time I learned from one of them that the little fruits on the counter were not grapes, but plums. indigenous, pre-Colombian plums,
which she has cultivated and turned into jams and syrup of gluten-free pancakes. Then there were her peaches. Maybe not indigenous, but really delicious, grown in her own orchard. The small peaches - like wild strawberries - gain in flavor what they lack in dimension. Best I have ever tasted, I think.
To top it off,, there is a lively, old, adobe church right across the street.
