Jaw-dropping location

Amazing location with a spectacular view. Felt like we were in the Himalayas! It’s a hair-raising drive up but worth it. Joanna welcomed us and made us feel at home. The thick bearskin-type blankets were fabulous and kept us warm all night. Because we were there off-season, there were no amenities to speak of. The only drawback is that, due to its incredible location, you cannot walk to a store or restaurant; you must drive all the way back down. But we would absolutely stay here again! Can’t imagine how incredible it is in spring and summer.

Absolutely stunning view from the patio, you cannot beat the location, quietness and views. About a 12 minute walk to the bottom of the castle, shops and restaurants. Guesthouse is quiant and kept very clean. There were a few ants on our beds each day but i think its more location then cleanliness. The only trouble I had was even though I messaged with the manager the night before and gave her an approximate time of arrival....i messaged when we arrived and no one arrived to check us in until a hour after we got there. So we sat on the patio in the heat for the hour and it was quite frustrating. She said she didnt receive the messages until later but it didnt make it any less frustrating for myself and kids.

Très bon accueil. L'appartement est agréable et très propre, il y a un petit frigo. Le balcon est assez grand avec une belle vue sur la vallée. C'est très calme et la clim efficace. Le petit déjeuner est excellent et copieux avec une vue magnifique sur le château. Je recommande vivement cette chambre d'hôtes.

Hele lieve en behulpzame host met elke dag een ander heerlijk ontbijtje. Er rijd een bus naar het hotel toe, maar houd er rekening mee dat het boven op een berg ligt. Verder helemaal prima!

Super B&B familiale dans le haut de la ville. La bazar est accessible a pied en 10 minutes. Place de parking devant. La terasse a une vue magnifique sur le chateau et le petit dejeuner typique un regal.
