The location and the views are spectacular. Very nice breakfast, but coffee not nice. Very friendly host. We could not get enough of the spectacular view. However this is not a 5 Star at all. Urgent update and upgrade in rooms required. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

You’ll love it!
You must stay here!! The views are amazing and the breakfasts are delicious. We received such a warm welcome from Werner. He made our stay so special. He even gave us a free upgrade and always gave us good advice about what to see and do in the area. If you like homemade fudge and shortbread then this is the place for you. Can’t recommend it highly enough!
