Property seemed tired. Menu was limited compared to what is on the website. My daughter got a bug or something there and has been sick for a few days now with a stomach bug. Not the most comfortable place. Bathroom had a dead mouse.

Amazing stay with amazing views
Our one night stay at Casa Loma was wonderful. We stayed in the Casa Luna accommodation which was very private and had the most spectacular of views. The food menu was vast and everything ordered was tasty at good prices. The one gripe: coffee isn’t included in the included breakfast rate. We would happily return to Casa Loma once more for beautiful sunsets in a tranquil setting.

Ein fantastischer Ort! Wir hatten eine kleine hütte mit eigener terasse und Hängematte zum chillen. Der Sonnenuntergang von der Bar ist fänomenal, genau wie die Cocktails und das Essen. Wer diesen Ort nicht besucht hat, hat was verpasst! Unbedingt Ausflug zu den Wasserfällen machen!

Belle auberge de jeunesse bien située près du centre de Minca. Il faut toutefois s’attendre à monter à pied 5-10 min pour s’y rendre.

Magnífica vista.
Excelente vista, el hotel es hermoso en términos generales. La cocina y los menús los califico en 10/10, el servicio y ambiente es fabuloso. Música en vivo. Le resta puntos los baños (no muy aseados) y poco estéticos.
