Absolutely loved it here! The living room with the fireplace was so inviting after skiing, The private pool was a bonus, though we didn't use it much in winter, Only downside was the Wi-Fi was a bit slow at times, but honestly, who needs it when you're in such a beautiful place?

Spazioso e perfetto per le famiglie! Avevamo 12 persone e non ci siamo mai sentiti angusti, Le camere erano accoglienti e i bagni puliti, Il sauna è stata un successo tra gli adulti, Solo un avviso, il riscaldamento ha impiegato un po' a partire, ma una volta attivato, era super comodo, Ne valeva davvero la pena!
