Highly recommend

Superb hotel in Aso. We were so lucky that the host upgraded us to the brand new corner room with amazing view. Room is very spacious, quiet, clean and modern. It’s a shame that we couldn’t do horse riding as it was pouring on the day we stayed.

Actually this is a really good and special place for stay if you wanted something different from traditional accomodation. Food provided is yummy and staff is very friendly and helpful. The negative point of this place is firstly parking is not convenience as our room is a bit far and there are stair to go down. Secondly we think that the property is a bit tired, need further improvement. WE really wish to see a new face on it. Thank you

Somewhere a bit different in Aso

The El Patio Ranch is perched high on the caldera rim with great views towards the active volcanoes, some distance away. We didn't participate in the horse activities that take place at the ranch, preferring to explore the geopark. The Ranch was a great place to return in the evening.

Nice and quiet

It's a ranch and it's quiet during our stay. Definitely you will need to have a car tho drive here. The owner speaks pretty good English and very helpful too.
