Atmospheric accommodation at a very good price

The accommodation has a great, unique atmosphere. The owner is very nice and helpful, knows the area well, gave us excellent directions on how to get there, and recommended a charming restaurant nearby. Good location due to the proximity to the Panorama Route. Inside, there is plenty of equipment, we could even light a fire in the fireplace :D Great value for money ratio.

  • It was really cold at night, luckily numerous blankets available nearby solved the problem. There is no wifi on site, but there is phone reception. The directions are quite complicated but fortunately the precise description allows you to reach the place without any problems :)

I really recommend this hotel. The owner is adorable and helped me with maps and directions. After the instruction it gets a little bit better to arrive correctly. The house is very spacious and functional. There is a kitchen with all kinds of utensils for cooking on the stovetop, but no oven. There are 4 beds for 6 people in 2 bedrooms. The bathroom is huge. Everything has hot water. There is also a fireplace.

Great experience

Seems rustic but strangely also the best night I had during my holidays! I particularly loved the showers.
