9.2Verified guest“I recommend this hotel — no complaints at all. We felt very special. The location is stunning, relatively near an idiosyncratic folk museum, and a 30-minute drive from the airport. It's set amidst beautiful nature. The venue has spotless rooms with balconies and amazingly attentive, excellent staff.”
