I recently stayed here and had a fantastic experience. The highlight was undoubtedly the stunning mountain view, especially in the mornings, we had fantastic time here. The kitchen was fully equipped with all the necessary facilities, making it easy to prepare food. The room was big and exceptionally clean and comfortable, providing a pleasant stay. I will definitely return for another visit.
