“Stayed here for 2 nights, the place has really got a rawness of a farm stay. The view from the cottage balcony is amazing to wake up to. The cottage is quite spacious. They have a cafe within 5 mins walking distance from the cottage and the food, Vibe and the host is amazing. #cheerstotheteam”

“Spending 2 nights with family in a small room nestled in the hillside, 10 floors below the road, was an amazing experience. The restaurant is 900 meters away, which is a bit inconvenient, but everything else is beautiful. The director Leo liked it.”
