Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers rooms with unique themes and characters, some overlooking hills and olive trees, but they vary in size and equipment level. The service was friendly and accommodating, although there were delays in receiving invoices. The location, surrounded by mountains and villages, provided a serene and natural ambiance, perfect for a peaceful getaway. The dining experience was satisfactory with fresh and varied options, including farm-fresh eggs made to order. Overall, the concept has potential but could benefit from more inspiring room designs.
