The Experience

Who would guess this bucolic spot was an hour from Santander, Bilbao and the beaches of Laredo? In a farming village in time-forgotten Burgos, Casa Zalama is a place to seek out: linger as long as you can. English Graeme and Maria from the Basque country uprooted from Brighton and now are living the dream. Maria’s lovely furnishings are matched by rustic stone walls and big chunky beams, bedrooms have comfortable beds and earthy colours, and, some, balconies with views of the hills. As for the garden, it’s a feast for the eyes, beautifully tended yet half-wild, alive with Graeme’s wooden masks and stone sculptures; soak up the peace, drift off in the hammock. Dinners are served in the atmospheric old stables, and the food is country Spanish and delicious: local sausage, home-grown vegetables, pear tart. Opposite the house is a colourful self-catering cottage, a cosy retreat for a couple or a small family. The birdwatching is brilliant, the countryside a dream, and creative workshops are planned; Graeme works with wood, Maria with felt and their energy and generosity is contagious. What value.

Andrea, Chambon Sur Voueize

Estupendo! Super casa, super hosts and super food. Maria and Graeme could not have been more welcoming. They very kindly allowed me to bring my retrievers, which enabled me to attend a local dog show in September and again, in November on route back from Portugal. Thank you both so much. I highly recommend this special place to stay!

What a wonderful Casa Rural!! We were fortunate to have Casa Zalama recommended to us and decided to come for a stay as it looked so nice on the Sawday's website aswell. Thank goodness we did as we discovered a Spanish rural heaven! Graham and Mari-Cruz are fantastic people and we felt like old friends at the end of our 2 night stay. The food is wonderful - don't go anywhere else. And to sit and eat in the cosy diningroom with the fire crackling in the back ground is just bliss. Do ask Graham to put his "special" music on! If in Northers Spain - stay here! We will absolutely be back!

Loved the house - very comfortable accommodation with fantastic food. Our hosts were very friendly and helpful and really made us feel at home. A bit off the beaten track but well worth a visit. We would definitely go back, if only for more of Marie-Cruz's cooking!
