Reviews and Ratings
This hotel is a gem, nestled into the mountains and providing modern facilities with every comfort. The rooms are beautifully scattered across fully renovated buildings and offer a cozy fireplace. The service is top-notch, and the dining experience features local made products. However, the location might be a downside for some, being tucked into the caves. The value for money is great considering all the amenities provided.
