My buddy and I stayed at the Black Grape in mid-August and it completely exceeded all of our expectations.
Ollauri is a beautiful, old, and very quaint little town right in the middle of Rioja and just a few kilometers away from Haro and some of the most instrumental of the Rioja wineries/ bodegas.
It was great to be able to come back to such a beautiful townhouse for a siesta or to just relax and enjoy some of the great (and very affordable) wine they stock in the cellar.
The house is located in a historic block but is very modern inside. From multiple kitchens, 4 bedrooms, a den and many bathrooms, it could easily accomodate four couples. The owners are very responsive and have obviously put a lot of time into the rennovations.
We stayed for 4 days, and probably could have spent another day or two exploring Rioja. I would reccomend The Black Grape without reservation and would be happy to answer any questions any prospective guests may have.
