Weekend stay overiin nature
What a lovely place! In between the mountains surrounded by nature. Hostess was extremely friendly, helpful and knowledgeable about the surroundings and attractions. We stayed in the comfort room with a queen bed which was perfect for a one night stay. The pool was a nice add on and we didn't have any issues with the wifi. Breakfast buffet had many options to choose from and was delicious.
