We were here Dec 2023\. Lucky to have found Casa Encarnita within a short time frame. Maria and Frank (brother-sister owners) were very helpful from when we were making the booking to through our stay. The house is not new but it’s clean when we arrived. It is adequately equipped for cooking our nightly dinners, owners even brought a new and bigger rice cooker for our large group of 10\. Yes the house can sleep 10 comfortably. I particularly like the Spanish feel of the house with paintings by the owners! ##### Sharon K.
