Breakfast is amazing, with a-la-carte eggs, and buffet with yogurt parfaits, breads, and other snacks. Beautiful dining room. On-site parking is an authentic local experience, but much appreciated. Staff were really wonderful and helpful. After-hours check in was flawless.

The breakfast was very good. The location was excellent, in the town, but it was quiet. It was ideal for hiking, with plenty of choices where to go. In the accommodation itself, the bathroom was good with a decent shower, the bed was comfortable, there was tea and coffee in the room and the host was friendly and helpful. I hope to stay there next year.

A stunning town. The hotel is within walking distance of the center and the restaurants. Lovely staff and the room was huge and very comfortable. From there you can get on a bus to all the surrounding villages.

Lovely clean room and the hot drinks were replenished often, we never ran out. Very helpful manager who let us in and gave us codes which were sent to whatsapp. Unfortunately, I had not updated my number with Booking.com so I never received them, totally my fault, but the codes by email as well as/ instead of WhatsApp should be considered.
