Séjour de déconnexion

8.0

L'endroit est tout simplement magique, loin de tout en pleine forêt, un vrai moment de déconnexion. Ambiance conviviale digne d'un refuge de montagne où on partage les repas. Départs de randonnée possibles directement de l'hôtel. Merci à Gabi et Lucrezia pour votre accueil.

Chalet un peu mal isolé, il fait assez froid et on entend pas mal dans les chambres à côté.

Los senderos son maravillosos. La mujer que nos atendió encantadora

El baño exterior no tenía agua caliente y hacía frío (por poner una pega)

Guest review

El lugar es espectacular, el hostel está en la montaña con una vista espectacular, rodeado de un bosque surreal, con un flora y fauna totalmente diferentes a lo que veníamos viendo. El hostel es muy lindo, con una muy buena sala de estar, las camas cómodas, con suficientes mantas para el frío, cocina compartida muy completa y un desayuno incluido por la mañana.

Por la altura, la temperatura decae muchísimo, pero nos mantuvimos bien calefaccionados con la estufa hogar del hostel. Pasamos solo una noche, nos quedamos con ganas de quedarnos más.
