The quantity of food at the breakfast and dinner buffets was good, the room was spacious and comfortable with a nice environment surrounding it and the staff were very helpful and friendly. We enjoyed the hot spring pool and, although it was extremely cold, the big pool was refreshing on a hot afternoon.

Rooms are styled with rustic walls in delicate pale olive shades, all of them having a view of the valley and the river. Each room has a small balcony or terrace where you can admire a splendid view. All rooms have modern private bathrooms.
A full American breakfast is served in the Restaurant; this one features panoramic windows with views of the valley and serves local specialties. There is also a small central iron-cast fireplace.

Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 9.0 for a two-person trip.
