Truly special location

We were made to feel exceptionally welcome. The hosts are wonderful! The chance to purchase fresh vegetables directly from the farm is just one of the reasons that made our stay so enjoyable. We had a fantastic time combining our stay with mountain bike tours through vast and breathtaking landscapes, with amazing trails. We were fortunate enough to spot some wild animals too. The location is truly special, and the accommodation feels incredibly comfortable.
