사람들이 좋아하는 이유
- One-of-a-kind barrel architecture
- Pet-friendly with zero fees
- On-site underground tavern (Taberna del Cofrade)
한눈에 보기: It's a bucket-list photo op first and a hotel second—expect rustic charm and thin walls, not polished luxury.
@ettevi_wanderlust님의 리뷰: I stayed in one of these giant barrels and it was the wildest experience! Waking up right in the middle of the agave fields was surreal. The room was cozy, the AC worked great, and being right on the distillery grounds meant tequila tastings were just a walk away.

Reality check
The '5-star' rating is misleading; think of it as high-end glamping with a pool.
- You are an influencer or photographer
- You are traveling with a dog (they are treated like royalty)
- You want to drink tequila right where you sleep
청결 & 유지관리
8
- Housekeeping: Daily service is generally good, but missed corners and dust are common due to the rustic setting.
- Bathroom hygiene: Clean, but expect signs of wear like lime scale on faucets or slow drains.
- Maintenance: The biggest weak point—peeling paint, gaps in doors, and rusty fixtures are frequently reported.
- Linens & towels: Functional but not luxury; some reports of them being 'old' or 'worn'.
- Odors & scents: Generally fresh, but occasional sewage or fermentation smells from the factory/drains.

“I am celebrating a special occasion and would love a 'Barrica' room as far from the pool and fire pit as possible to ensure quiet. A view of the agave fields is preferred over a view of the common areas.”

내부자 팁
- ✨
The underground restaurant 'Taberna del Cofrade' is cool, but book a table in advance for dinner.
- ✨
Ask for the 'Sensory Tasting' tour—it's often better than the standard factory tour.
- ✨
Buy your tequila bottles here; the on-site shop often has editions you can't find elsewhere.

💡The 'terrace' is often just a couple of chairs on the dirt outside your door.
💡You might smell fermentation odors (yeasty/sour) depending on the wind.
