What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
El Gran Sueño looks and feels like a labor of love. The building is an old farmhouse, still surrounded by gardens and apple orchards, but thoroughly restored inside.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
The rural hamlet of Pintueles sits in quiet countryside, with trails leading directly toward the Sierra del Sueve.
The rooms
Poured resin floors stay warm underfoot, and select rooms open to private terraces or cast-iron bathtubs beneath skylights.
At the table
Owner Dave cooks three-course organic dinners each evening, served at the dining table or outside in the summer garden.
How it began
Owners Dave and Javier scouted seventy properties before choosing this nineteenth-century country house, restoring it over two years.
