Reviews
Yes, the steep climb is not for everyone and it is not a resort hotel, but you get clear value for your money if you are in vibe with nature.
The house is on a hill overlooking the town. It means that you have to walk up the hill, but once you get there the wiew is great. Especially the sunsets.
The rooms are big, nice and clean.
The service was great. The lady that takes care of the house also took good care of us.
If I come back some day, I will stay there again.
