The view from our room took my breath away... it never got old. We actually chose to move the couch in front of the picture window and spend the first evening staring out the window through the end of sunset with a nice bottle of wine. The staff were warm, welcoming, and very professional.

United States of AmericaThe location of the hotel is simply stunning - located at the end of the road, between these amazing mountains where there is no other way but back. The view from the room was equally mesmerising.
