Guest reviews:
Staying here was a highlight of our week traveling in Europe.
The panoramic view is spectacular.
Spending time with Anyes and Michael was relaxing, fun and thoroughly enjoyable.
They offered plenty of suggestions of things to do in the area as well as interesting insights into European living. The room was comfortable and provided a restful & quiet sleep.
The town and surrounding areas offer many natural and cultural explorations .
We highly recommend this place- both for the beauty of the spot and for the wonderful hosts.
