Dreamlike days in a perfect mountain lodge. The host family is incredibly warm and helpful, and the cuisine is magnificent—top-level regional dishes. We spent 5 nights here and used it as a base for day tours. The evenings spent on the beautiful terrace, enjoying the delicious 4-course menus and white wine, will remain a wonderful memory.
