Reviews and Ratings
The hotel sits on top of a hill, offering breathtaking views of the countryside. The rooms are well-equipped with a neat touch of tea and coffee making facilities. However, the steep and unlit hill at night can be a bit unnerving. The dining experience with homemade products was delightful, and the service was attentive. Though surrounded by stunning scenery, the location may not appeal to everyone due to the dark hill. Overall, a cozy stay in a picturesque setting.
The hotel offers stunning countryside views and charming rustic accommodation but lacks proper lighting in the hill area after dark. The dining experience includes delicious artisanal bread, but the room lacks storage options for clothes.
The hotel is nestled in the hills with stunning views of the countryside, offering a charming getaway. The rooms are cozy with lovely added touches, but the mattress may need some adjustment. The service is top-notch, with thorough housekeeping and pet amenities available. The location is a serene hillside retreat, perfect for enjoying nature. The dining experience includes delicious options, especially for vegetarians, although some improvements could be made. Overall, a delightful stay with good value for money.
