Chris Scoles
Our second trip to Refugio, it is an ideal venue for a group. 6 of us travelled from different regions for a mountainbike weekend in the hills. Rifugio was the perfect base, Comfortable and well equiped we recommend Refugio to any group with similar intentions. Thanks Amanda, we will be back for a third visit!

The house was clean, comfortable, warm and spacious, in beautiful surroundings and plenty of places to explore. Amanda was prompt with her responses and maintained good communication throughout, she even gave us flexibility with the check out time. Thank you, we would love to return in the future ♡
