Truly a discovery! Patricia made us feel immediately at home. Awesome food and a great local cooking workshop — definitely a recommendation!
I had a wonderful stay with Patricia and her BWO crew. Not only is it a beautiful place where Pat has created a wonderful and relaxing sanctuary. The staff are all very friendly and the food was tasty. Our guides were all so friendly and knowledgeable.
