About this cottage rental
This charming cottage is situated at the top of the village Banastón Usana, 2kms from Aínsa, and a short stroll uphill from Casa Blas and the Annex. The name the Era refers to the flat area outside the cottage, where the farmers used to thresh the wheat. The property is simply and beautifully decorated throughout with wooden beams creating the major focal point which brings a friendly charm to this small abode.
On the lower level, you'll find a double bedroom with en suite and upstairs the living room with sofa bed and fully equipped kitchen. Its vine covered terrace is a real treat in summer months with a compact garden to compliment it. As ever this south facing house enjoys long periods of sunshine. The interior temperature is controlled with electrical heating for winter months and air conditioning for summer months.
The owner, who lives nearby is a fountain of information concerning the history of village and for those interested, there is always the possibility of visiting the former bakery, wine making room and alcove sleeping quarters. In the immediate area you can go for walks (the Villarcillo Chapel is a half hour walk from Banaston) or go horseriding in Banaston Barrio de la Iglesia or Church Quarter. A tour of the region by car is recommended as is a visit to the medieval village of Aínsa. Not to be missed is a visit to the Sierra de Guara Park, the Ordesa Park or the Posets-Maladeta Park, all of which offer and endless array of outdoor activities.

We loved our stay. The property is gorgeous and has everything you need for a short stay. It was a great location for walks, and only a short drive into Ainsa for a meal or supplies. Would love to return one day.

Extremely clean and comfortable little cottage next to a working farm about 2 miles from the town of Ainsa, so transport is necessary. The cottage is well equipped with everything that you need. It was lovely to be able to sit outside on the terrace for meals, and the weather whilst we were there was excellent. Even though we only stayed for 4 nights there was plenty to do and see in the surrounding area. Thank you very much for an enjoyable stay.

Beautiful and peaceful setting

Usana is small, a population of less than 50, with sheep, barns, and gardens among the stone and slate residences. The cottage is well maintained and equipped as advertised. A couple of town dogs provide good company and a few nightly howls. There are no street names or house numbers, so I would advise finding the cottage before dark. Look for the chain across the driveway and the ERA sign. You can hike from your doorstep and Ainsa is 5 minutes away by car.
