Dépaysant

7.0

Très atypique et joliment fait. Bon petit déjeuner typique. Personnel accueillant. Parfait pour des personnes cherchant le dépaysement

3eme personne dormant sur la banquette, pas très confortable. Utilisation de lampe à alcool pour l’éclairage de la cuisine et de la pièce où se trouve la banquette. Odeur difficilement supportable mais obligatoire pour y voir quelque chose.

Come una volta, nella natura. E potrete rivedere le stelle in cielo.

9.0

La posizione è al fuori del caos e del tempo. Per arrivarci la stradina, soprattutto la notte, può sembrare difficile ma in realtà si riesce a fare benissimo. L'esperienza qui è particolare: se amate il cielo stellato, il silenzio ed il vivere di una volta questa residenza fa per voi; l'esperienza di utilizzare luni ad olio e di vivere nella natura in bellissimi e pulitissimi ambienti di un villaggio originale di 300 anni fa ben sistemato è fantastica. La colazione (consigliatissima) è abbondante, dal dolce al salto ed è praticamente un pranzo,,. se si ha tel tempo merita eenza'altro l'escusione alle gole ed al santuario.

Se volete l'hotel 5 stelle comodo, con piscina, spa etc, cambiate indirizzo.

viskas buvo fainai, gyvenimas be sviesos turi savo sarma, bet galetu padaryti nors viena rozete kambaryje kad nebegioti i recepsana krauti telefono

The atmosphere, the quiet, and the quaintness. Free parking, and an excellent breakfast (at extra cost).

It was expected, but the access road would be very difficult to drive in the dark. If you're eating out, go early and get back before dark.

Ταξίδι πίσω στο χρόνο

10.0

Το κατάλυμα σε ταξιδεύει πισω στο χρόνο προσφέροντας μια μοναδική , αυθεντικη εμπειρια. Οι χαμηλές καμάρες, ο φωτισμός με καντήλια λαδιού, το φυσικό τοπίο και η ηρεμία ειναι μερικά από τα στοιχεία που το καθιστούν μοναδικό για απομόνωση και γαλήνη. Η κυρία Μικαέλα φιλική, ευγενική και πολύ ωραία παρουσία στο συγκρότημα. Για όσους επιλέγουν συνειδητά να αποσυνδεθούν απο την τεχνολογία και τον σύγχρονο- άνετο τρόπο ζωής, ο Ασπρος Ποταμος αποτελεί μοναδική εμπειρία. Προσωπικα θα μου μεινει αξεχαστη.
