Felt right at home
A charming cottage, surrounded by a peaceful garden. A place where you can have your morning coffee sitting on the windowsill, while enjoying the magnificent mountain views. So much thought is put into making guests feel at home and ensuring they have everything they need to enjoy a comfortable, warm and relaxing stay.
