Wonderful experience! A beautiful family-run hotel overlooking the valley and hills, with the sound of a river nearby. The hosts are marvelous, exceptionally kind and welcoming, and were helpful throughout my stay, especially with helping me plan my time in town, and bus schedules for my onwards travel. They were even kind enough to drop me off at the bus station on my way out. The room was clean and spacious, with a comfortable bed. The view from the window and terrace is beautiful. And the town center is a convenient 5-7 minute walk away. The breakfasts were wonderful as well, with variety each day! Thank you so much for this wonderful experience!

The hosts are the most lovely people ever. They truly care about their guests and even prepared breakfast for us to go at 5.30am. The house is a bit out of town but the walk there in the evening is magical, surrounded by fireflies and nature you can walk down the street in easy 20min from town. Highly recommend :)
