The hotel offered spacious rooms with thoughtful amenities, including a small fridge with complimentary water. While the TV signal was occasionally off, the view overlooking the square made up for it. The staff provided excellent service, being not only friendly but also willing to assist with special requests. However, the noise from the nearby club disrupted our sleep. The location was convenient for exploring the charming village and nearby attractions, although the dining options were limited, impacting the overall value for money.

My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms were cozy but slightly dark without extra lighting, and the issue with coldness was promptly resolved with a portable heater. The location was ideal, away from noisy areas, and close to the hiking route. The service was exceptionally kind and accommodating, making up for a less desirable dining experience with limited options.
