평일 하루 조용하고 저렴하게

갑작스런 일정으로 홍천에서 하루 자게 되었는데, 모텔보다는 바비큐를 할 수 있는 펜션을 급 예약. 수목으로 우거진 주변환경은 좋았고 주인내외분도 친절함. 내부리뉴얼 새로 한 지는 몇년 안된것 같은데 욕실에선 소독약 냄새인지 모르겠으나 약간 불쾌한 냄새가… 방마다 근처에 옥외테이블과 그릴이 있어서 저녁에 고기구워먹기에 좋았는데 어두워지면 모기나 벌레류가 모여드는 위험이.. 다행히 모기향 피워주시고 벌레 퇴치기를 갖다주셔서 도움이 되었습니다. 참고로 그릴용 참숯서비스는 15,000원. 둘이서 고기 구워먹고도 한동안 불이 살아있었으니 4명이 바베큐 파티 충분할 듯.

Owner is nice and friendly. There is a big and nice garden in the property which makes it unique. There is also a cafe which is a bonus. The property is located in the hills with fresh air and is quiet. Will visit the property again.

Great pension with nice views and wonderful staff

From the moment we arrived, Sicily Pension exceeded our expectations. The owner was very kind and helpful and provided everything we expected and more. The pension itself is very nice, extremely clean and well maintained. I hope to return again during a different season to enjoy the natural beauty of the area.

테라스에 큰 테이블이 있어 개인적인 공간에서 책을 읽거나 노트북으로 일할수 있어 좋았어요 조용한 풍경에서 멍때리기 좋았습니다 방도 깔끔하고 있을건 다 있어서 편하게 쉬다 왔습니다 로스팅 카페도 같이 운영하시는데 카페에서 쉬었다가 방에서 쉬었다가 하기 좋아요 디지털 노마드 족에게 추천 합니다 단, 산속 깊은곳에 있어 군내에서 장을 봐서 들어가야 합니다.

시실리 시간을 잃어버린 공간

사방이 산으로 둘러싸여 있어서 신비하고 아늑한 느낌이 드는 곳이었습니다. 특별한 유흥시설은 없지만 가족끼리 조용하게 하루 지내고 싶다면 강추입니다. 사장님이 아주 친절하셔서 우선 기분이 좋았구요~ 실내는 들어가자마자 시선을 끄는 아기자기한 소품들로 이쁘게 꾸며져서 우리 딸들이 사진 찍느라 여념이 없었답니다. 한적하고 편안한 휴식을 원한다면 강추입니다~

At first the owner of the place didn't respond well when I asked a question. He then continued to ignore my mom when she tried to get his attention, but when he decided to not only answer to my brother but also give a very detailed and mannered response to my dad, that's when I realized he was a misogynist. There was also a misunderstanding with his pet policy, because I reserved using Expedia in English, and he had stated his pet policy in Korean. So when I told him about this situation he straight up ignored me and kept talking to my dad about it. It really angered me and I left the room, and later my dad told me that the owner said he was sorry. What I don't understand is why couldn't he have said that when I was also in the room. When I messaged him about his attitude, he was very redundant in his messaging about the pet policy, but not once did he mention he was sorry. During my time in Korea, I've met quite a few men that are old-fashioned and rude towards women, so I try to not get upset. However, the next morning , his sudden attitude change when I was with my dad was what really disgusted me. Not only was he misogynistic, but he was also petty.
