Reviews and Ratings
I had a delightful stay at this hotel nestled in the heart of nature. The service was impeccable, offering a warm welcome and attentive housekeeping. However, the rooms with shared bathrooms might not suit everyone's preferences. The homemade food served in the dining area was a highlight, but the lack of a variety of choices was slightly disappointing.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were clean and cozy, the service was exceptional, and the location was perfect. The dining experience was a highlight, offering delicious meals made with fresh local produce. The facilities were top-notch, making my stay truly memorable.
A welcoming hotel with a great view, offering comfortable rooms and friendly service. However, the dining options were a bit limited. The location is close to nature, making it a peaceful retreat.
