    The breakfast and lady serving were the highlight. Had to drive to restaurant - too long of a walk.

    Unfortunately, our stay was rather short and didn't get to enjoy everything the chalet had to offer.

    Very nice and recently remodeled old country house with modern conveniences. Without a doubt, I would say, EXCEPTIONAL. Nice rooms and bathrooms with comfortable amenities throughout. Extremely generous common area that can easily accommodate 20 guests in various rooms and settings. Entertainment rooms with various options stay at the fussy guests discretion ...

    Very nicely decorated. Quiet room. Some shared spa facilities that I did not use, but all were available. Even the ‘no view’ room had a mountain view. The breakfast was very good.

    The house is decorated with style, there is everything needed for a comfortable stay (from jacuzzi to PlayStation) :) It is possible to use the common kitchen which is quite handy. The hosts are very welcoming and responsive. The breakfast is of high quality.

    Other residents had dogs which were not kept under control and allowed in the kitchen area. One dog came into our room and the owners confronted us later as we got hold of the dog to move it out of our room. They asked us not to touch their dog. Another large dog was roaming about in the kitchen.

    While booking directly can be pricey, we snagged a great deal here on Booking, making it affordable.

    The idea of a hotel being a cozy cottage with just 5 rooms and a shared lounge is fantastic. The décor, amenities like the sauna, spacious kitchen, and play areas are top-notch. Contrary to other reviews, we found the breakfast more than satisfying.

    There is a gorgeous living room, a separate TV area and a games room upstairs. We wish we could have stayed longer to enjoy everything the chalet has to offer! A perfect stay.

    An absolutely stunning accommodation. We booked as one last night after skiing and before flying home, to use the spa, hamman and jacuzzi to relax our sore muscles and have a good night's sleep before coming back. The chalet is absolutely gorgeous, and extremely comfortable, the view is beautiful, the location quiet and the directions and pre-arrival information is comprehensive. We were arrivig late and were worried that we would not have time to use the spa. The hosts were great at replying and letting us know that we would be able to access the spa until late. It was sparkling clean and all the instructions were clear and easy to follow. Breakfast was delicious and the host super nice.

    The only glitch was the high end Tec that means you need your phone and a signal to enter the house and your room with a code. I forgot mine and didn't have my phone as it was locked in my room while is used the sauna. Could have been embarrassing but i found my ipad in my vehicle and it rescued me.

    This is a hidden jewel that allowed me to break up my long journey in luxury.
