My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms were large and extremely comfortable, with stunning views over the mountain and valleys, although the soundproofing could be improved. The location was excellent, providing easy access to the main road, shops, and restaurants while offering a quiet ambiance with lovely mountain views. The dining experience, although freshly prepared, required pre-ordering and limited choices, which was a bit of a downside. The service was decent, and the overall value for money was reasonable.

I had an amazing stay at this hotel, located right in the heart of the village with breathtaking mountain views. The rooms were cosy and stylish, with a wood fire and a fully stocked quiet fridge. The bathroom was a real highlight with a great walk-in shower and a large bath overlooking the hills. While the central location meant not much of a view, the rooms were very well appointed.
