Reviews
First of all, the hostess was very difficult to deal with. We didn't feel welcome, but rather as if everything was too much trouble. There was a lot of nagging and commentary, which made the atmosphere anything but relaxing.
What we found downright misleading: you book a massage, but it turns out the hostess herself is giving it. This isn't necessarily a problem in itself, but when you're with two people, it means one person has to wait while the other gets the massage. This isn't clearly communicated in advance, even though it's important information when booking a relaxing stay for two.
Furthermore, you essentially live with the hostess herself, which wasn't made clear in the description. This completely destroys the feeling of privacy. You also have to pay extra for breakfast, which we found exceptionally expensive for what you get.
The shared living room turned out to be a cluttered painter's studio, with canvas-covered armchairs. The whole place felt unkempt and uncomfortable. A decent, clean armchair to just sit on was too much to ask.
Honestly, for a fraction of the price, I'd rather stay at an Ibis hotel. At least there you have clear communication, privacy, a regular room, and comfortable seating.
We felt this was poor value for money and lacked transparency. Not recommended.
Hourly stays are possible, which can be convenient depending on your schedule. Payment can be made in cash, and everything runs smoothly and efficiently. The rooms are clean, well-maintained, and fully functional.
Pricing is clear and transparent. An ideal place for those who value discretion, convenience, and privacy.
The bathroom is nice, though. The bed has sheets made of a strange ribbed cotton, not exactly comfortable to sleep in. The TV only has one channel, and that red carpet on the floor isn't very appealing.
I expected something different.
everything about this experience was BAD!
called 3 times, sent a reservation via the site and an email, and the owner still sold our room to someone else, one day before departure.
she agreed at a last moment to let us stay in a small house (where she has the sauna), which was not very clean.
we had no access to the kitchen facilities, not internet.
breakfast was nice, but we were told we could only eat 1 piece of cheese.
funny after you pay 115euros a night.
AVOID!!!!
always. In the morning, Playlists are carefully selected for a gentle awakening and enjoy a hearty and balanced breakfast. The eggs are made to order and she doesn't hesitate to make coffee even late in the morning. The spacious rooms, very comfortable mattresses and cozy duvets. Bath linen more than enough and checked regularly.
We read some comments on Booking, TripAdvisor ... before booking, you have to be really difficult or not like nature, it is better to make your own opinion. We highly recommend and will come back with great pleasure.
