We absolutely loved everything about our stay - the beautiful rooms, the stunning spa, the delicious and generous breakfast, and the spectacular surrounds. We felt totally spoilt for our stay. We parked about a 5-10 minute walk from the hotel, in a parking building (€1 per hour), which was handy enough to the hotel. Highly recommend!

Great experience sleeping in a luxury cave

Very nice and typical hotel for mater built in the mountain. The most beautiful SPA, however they limit entry to 60 minutes per stay. We ate at the restaurant for 2 nights and Dino and staff were absolutely great. Breakfast also was of great quality and service with a good choice of food.
