Where Casa Rural La Chascona is in Pedrajas
La Chascona is on Calle Soria, in Pedrajas, a small village in the province of Soria, in Castile and León. Several guests describe it as a quiet spot, perfect for switching off, with lovely neighbours.
The listing mentions mountain views and a calm setting, a few minutes by car from the city of Soria. One guest puts it at ten minutes from Soria. For me that is the best argument for the house, because you get the quiet of a small village without being far from what is worth seeing.
Getting there and getting around from Pedrajas
The easy way is by car. The house has free private parking, so you will not have to look for a space when you arrive.
According to the listing, the bus station, the Museo Numantino and the Plaza Mayor in Soria are between 12 and 14 km away. There is a 24-hour reception for queries and a paid transfer service to Logroño-Agoncillo airport, which is 124 km away. I do not have the price, so ask before booking.
What the house is like inside
It is a whole house with three bedrooms and a shared living room. Guests repeat one idea, a mix of rustic and comfort, with lots of detail and plenty of charm.
- Bedrooms and bathrooms. Several people say the bedrooms are spacious, as are the dining room and the bathrooms.
- Kitchen. Fully equipped, with fridge, dishwasher, washing machine, oven and microwave. One review calls it rustic and beautiful.
- Comfort. Towels and bed linen included, flat-screen TV with cable channels and free Wi-Fi. Guests praise the heating and the mattresses.
- Fireplace. One guest says it was ready to light if they wanted.
What guests highlight
On Google, La Chascona has 4.8 from 22 reviews. There are not many, but almost all point the same way and nearly all are five stars.
What comes up most is the house, described as lovely, cosy and well kept, and above all the hostess. Several guests say she keeps an eye on everything, gives tips for walks and visits around Soria, and welcomed them with cold drinks or small touches, such as a bed for one couple's dog.
Other reviews talk about a comfortable place, warm in winter and with everything needed. None of the reviews I read raise a specific complaint, which says a lot, although it is worth checking the most recent ones when you book.
What to know before booking
The house has a very good score, but it is not for everyone. These are the things I would check before deciding.
| The best | What to know |
|---|---|
| Whole house, spacious and with rustic charm | It is a small village, so for almost everything you need to go to Soria |
| Very attentive hostess with local tips | Few reviews, 22 on Google |
| Equipped kitchen and free parking | Without a car, getting around is harder |
| Quiet setting, ten minutes from Soria according to one guest | I have no prices, so check them for your dates |
Who it suits and what to do in the area
I would choose it for a weekend with a group or family, for a couple with a dog who want a whole house, and for anyone who enjoys walks in the area. If you are looking for a bar scene or hotel services, it is not for you.
The most practical option is to use Pedrajas as a base and drive up to Soria for the Museo Numantino and the Plaza Mayor. Guests also suggest asking the hostess about walks in the surroundings.
If you are still comparing options in Castile and León, you can also look at the Hotel Mirador del Arlanzón in Los Balbases or the Hostal Restaurante Catalina de Austria in Torquemada.
