I was in the tents at the back. It was lovely and cozy, bed was v comfortable and there was a heater. I had to move tents because mine was leaking but it was sorted quickly and easily once I found the staff. Breakfast was good
Daniela

The room was large and well furnished. The bathroom and toilets were clean, the corridors were quiet so we had a very good rest on the way from the mountains. The breakfast was sufficient and everyone chose what they liked. Beautiful accommodation...

A very beautiful interior. Amazing surroundings between mountains and next to a lake. Much attention was paid to small details and aesthetics. Resembled to a small temple.
