Reviews and Ratings
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location is amazing, tucked away in a quiet valley yet still close to the town center. The rooms were cozy, and the staff went above and beyond to make my stay memorable. However, the dining options were limited, which was a letdown. The facilities were top-notch, providing an overall great experience.

The facilities are modern and convenient, providing a comfortable stay.
The hotel is nestled in a serene valley offering a peaceful atmosphere, but it lacks vibrancy due to its remote location. The rooms have lovely balconies with charming views, yet they could use a modern touch. The service is exceptional and attentive, adding a warm touch to the stay. However, the dining options are limited and could be improved to cater to various tastes.
