"A hillside hacienda overlooking the lush Valle de General, this Auberge Resort consists of self-contained casitas (cottages) and suites, their decor stylish and understated (neutral shades, dark leather), surrounded by 350 hectares – ideal for hiking, horseback riding and observing from the air from one of the resort's own ultralights" Full review
