"Fantastisk udsigt! Sød indehaver og søde katte! Sengene af varierende kvalitet. Ved længerevarende ophold kommer man til at savne mulighed for at støvsuge og gøre lidt rent. Udenomsareal og havemøbler meget ufærdigt og spartansk. Meget venlig og serviceminded personale, som man kan kontakte døgnet rundt. Meget stejlt i bjergene, så taxa eller lejebil er et must. Vi nød at kunne være private, men man skal være indstillet på at indehaveren bor i underetagen. Udgang til altan/terrasse fra alle rum...

"This apartment had the most surreal views! It was lovely and clean and comfortable as well. It’s a shared space but you have your own room and bathroom and the other guests were nice and didn’t disturb us at all. But the reason we rate this place so highly is because of the incredible host, Ludgero. We got in an unfortunate accident on our first day (please drive carefully on the roads) and our host offered to pick us up from the hospital and checked in with us the next day. We were overwhelmed...
