Why María José Celemín Díez chose Castronuno

This property was the house of my grand-mother, who from I have heritaged my Faith in life, so when I restored, I thought I wanted the traveller to be transported into a beautiful place from where they remembered the decoration, details, cleanliness, softy linen, the joyful and cheerful colours, fountains, and the magic of the garden. All my being has put to decorate this house. Her spirit is a blessing for my guests, as the spirit of "The God of Green Valleys" is in the river, in the reedbed, the oak mountains, the black poplars that border the river as a jungle with clematis. At sunset, everything is magic and wild porks and foxes come from the mountain to the reedbed to sleep. For my guests, is delicious to go to the water park, just in the middle of the reserve, as to visit us to the organic farm and see and try the fresh fruits from trees, like prunes, cherries, apples, pears, and all type of vegetables, as hazelnuts and walnuts. My brother and I, we planted helped by my father when we were kids more than 500 trees and we have been able to make this place into a botanical garden worth seeing. A natural spring waters all the place. Last year, Esteban, my brother, planted 1000 vines of a local variety of grape called "Albillo Real", from which he is making a delicious wine that our guests enjoy to drink.
