Nos hemos alojado durante un fin de semana un grupo de personas y hemos estado fenomenal. Muy espacioso para todos, camas cómodas y decoración curiosa. Con la chimenea encendida se caldea muy rápido la casa y aguanta muy bien la temperatura. Camas con sabana bajera, almohada y edredón. Los anfitriones muy amables y dispuestos en todo momento. Se aparca bien delante de la casa. Un lugar tranquilo.
Possibly the best hostel I’ve stayed in. The location is excellent for hiking and outdoor activities. The hostel itself is excellent value, extremely clean and has a really rustic feel with a lovely wooden interior. Christine made us feel extremely welcome and the breakfast was amazing. Will definitely be going back and would 100% recommend.
Un albergue realmente maravilloso, sus anfitriones son insuperadables y muy atentos en todo momento, un sitio para desconectar del mundo externo ya que no tiene ni televisión ni Wi-Fi, un sitio perfecto para encontrar la paz y a ti mismo.
El lugar se deja alcanzar no sin antes poner a prueba la fe en los frenos y la visión del conductor El albergue custodiado por un mastín y ocho gatos negros, está en el fondo de un valle precioso y super verde, nos hospedamos una noche en una habitación privada con cama de matrimonio y un sofá. La litera muy cómoda cual cuna de bebes gigantes. Buen punto la separación del baño entre hombres y mujeres y gracioso el momento enfrentarse a la graduación de arder o helarte con la ducha. El desayuno lo prepara Dudu a las 9. Bien rico aunque falto de proteína para nuestro gusto. Relación calidad precio un 9.5/10
Fui a pasar una noche en moto con unos amigos y quitando el acceso (en moto) todo perfecto. El sitio precioso, las habitaciones muy bien, con duchas y baño muy bien cuidados. El trato espectacular, la chica y el chico que lo llevan son muy amables y carismáticos. Desayuno y una noche por 17€ simplemente una auténtica maravilla.
