Sierra Azul is an exceptional property that is part of a larger land holding used primarily for grazing. The owners have systematically curated the planting of various trees and other plants to make a wonderful environment for relaxation and appreciation of/encounters with various animals (different species of birds, sheep, cows, horses and the sweet house cat, Lulu). There is an awesome treehouse near the main house that is very well built and fitted out for young children. The main house is completely fitted out for living year-round and is suitable for a wide range of travelers. The house is difficult to photograph/understand from the exterior because it is partially covered by a green canopy (literally old vines on a trellis structure). This makes complete sense once you are occupying the house, as the canopy provides some protection against excessive heat gain during the summer season and heat loss during the winter. The flowering vines also attract a number of species of humming birds! Our family (couple with one 6-year old boy, and grandparents) spent a month here and it more than met our needs for accommodations and a base from which to do sight-seeing and beach time in the larger area. For city folk (NYC and Boston), this was a truly wonderful experience. The couple who own the property were in regular communication and were exceptional hosts.
