    Not a word.

    At first I was a bit nervous about this location, because it was our first time when we booked at them, it was a pretty long period too and on top of this we were with our 1 and a half year daugther, but fortunately we were so wrong.The staff was excellent, warm, good vibe, always ready to help, really playful with our child. The food was excellent, too. All of this made our stay truly relaxing and enjoyable time (in the end we even wanted to prolong our stay ). We recommend this location, especially for families.

    it’s a little dated but still very clean!

    beautiful place in a mountain area; enjoyed seeing the dogs and cats on the property; the food was delicious and the hosts are very hospitable! I love that they have white bedding and white towels!

    We wished for a bit more variation for the dinner options.

    The view from our room was amazing. And we loved that the location was off the main road - really quiet and relaxing.

    There were no elecrric outlets near the mirror or in the bathroom.

    I loved the atomsphere, the view, and the host. Itwas modern rustic, and completely took full advantage of the gorgeous views. By far, the best place in the area.

    Best stay in years of travelling in Europe! The 2 ladies are soo lovely and accommodating. They didn't speak English well but yet we managed to communicating - it was rather adorable instead of difficult. They were very friendly and the food in the evening and breakfast was great! They even went as far as baking us pudding pancakes in the evening for dessert (local dish that needs an hour of preparing - we didn't know) And she was so grateful and happy about it!

    The pension needs a little bit of refurbishment. It doesn't seem that lately, there have been any investment in renovation, there was a specific smell in the bathroom, some mold down in the cabin shower, some rust on the radiators/heater, the floor in the common area is scratched, not what is used to be from the present photos etc. It's clearly in need of some replacements. But these are not entirely critical aspects, nothing one cannot live without.

    The food was great.
