I had a pleasant stay at this hotel, nestled in the mountains with stunning views. The rooms were spacious and well-kept, offering a comfortable retreat. The service was exceptional, with attentive staff who made me feel welcomed. However, the location was a bit remote, which might not suit everyone's taste, and the dining options weren't extensive. Overall, it's good value for money if you enjoy a quiet, scenic getaway.
