CASA SANT BLAS de Alma de Nieve is a mountain stay in Gessa, Spain, set along the Carretera de Viehla a Baqueira S/N in the Pleta de Jos area.

Guests have rated the property 8.4/10 based on a small set of reviews, with people commonly mentioning a comfortable, home-like pace and a practical base for day trips.
Inside, the accommodation is geared toward longer stays and self-sufficiency, with a fully equipped kitchen and a fireplace for colder nights.
