It is a wonderful place to combine nature, relaxation and great riding in one of Italy’s most stunning regions.

Margaritas, sunshine & criollos 🌞🍹🐎
I’ve loved spending parts of the summer in the Mexican highlands for the past couple of years, and I cannot recommend this guest ranch enough! The hospitality, the ease, the delicious food and 3 course meals, the incredible historical sites to discover in the area and that feeling of uncovering a part of Mexico you don’t usually think of (no, it’s not your typical all inclusive Cancun beachfront resort 😁)

The riding, landscapes, and opportunities to let go, challenge yourself, or simply relax are amazing. Many guests try their first canters here, others return after a long break in riding. It’s family friendly too! 🥰
