Reviews
Other than that, communication with the staff/property manager/owner was great and they are very helpful.
We had a great time!
Very good property and nice location. Hot tub and sauna was great. Angelos was very kind to put the hot tub on for us as we were running late. Highly recommended
Property is down a long gravel lane or snowy depending when you go 😃
Reception is easy to find & someone was waiting for us upon arrival, he took us straight to the accommodation and shown us around
Really nice host, the property is stunning and we had no issues
The hottub we got a little use of, as you really need to be there constantly putting wood in and with limited hours we were out majority of the day
So although we got it to warm, we wish we had a little longer stay to have a day at the accommodation
Couldn’t recommend anymore though! Great stay - we hope to return soon
The equipment in the house is very complete and advanced
The location is really far away, and there will be employees leading the way at the entrance.
The hot tube requires burning firewood and 4 hours before it can be used.
In winter, the water will not be too hot, so it is recommended to use a sauna
