This hotel is a lovely retreat nestled in the mountains, with friendly and accommodating staff that made our stay enjoyable. The views from our room were breathtaking, and it was a short walk to some fantastic restaurants. However, while the breakfast was decent, it truly lacked variety and could use some improvement to really shine.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location is stunning, nestled in the forest, perfect for hiking, but the rooms left a bit to be desired, being quite spartan and lacking air conditioning.

The hotel is beautifully nestled in the mountains, surrounded by pine trees, and just a short walk from some great restaurants.
