This was the most majestic lodging we stayed in yet! The building is modest but huge with views and natural light. The surroundings were unmatched raw beauty. Definitely recommend!! Bring groceries it’s got a kitchen but no shops :)

Cute little cottage, and it comes with kitchen stuff that is enough for you to cook a decent meal. The place lacking of towel for kitchen, and you have to buy everything such as salt pepper oil sugar coffee etc. there is washing machine and no dryer with no instruction on how to use it. There is no one on site for any question, only can communicate via email because we don’t have phone to make a call. The outside is old and need some update.
Apartments and cottages in the middle of nowhere basically. Absolutely beautiful mountains all around. Horse farm down the road. Restaurant on premises wash DELICIOUS!!

The cabin was adequate, definitely well used, but clean and very quiet. The food at the restaurant was delicious! The staff was very friendly and inviting.

fallegt og hreint umhverfi. Fengum yndislegt verður, vantar stóla og borð uti á veröndinni. Verður gaman að koma aftur.
Super dass hier Abendessen angeboten wird (à la carte), da es relativ abgelegen ist (dafür aber ganz in der Nähe von wunderschönen Wasserfällen). Dinner und Frühstück waren super, Frühstück sehr reichhaltig!

Arrivée chaotique pas de réception. 2 appels a la centrale qui ne connaît pas le lieu + 2 demandes de renseignements à des personnes sur place plus tard, nous finissons par trouver le "cottage" (partie d'une pension d'étudiant) petit déjeuner 400m plus loin dans l'école, comme promis par la centrale de 8h a 10h personne ( à 9h ) très décevant. Plus a part le côté historisue du hameau !
