Important thing is the access road to the property. You need a high clearance vehicle (SUV) to drive on the 2km none-paved hilly road. Property is generally okay with a nice view. Breakfast is good from their own restaurant but not the expensive pizza for dinner they made on pre cooked crust.

Absolutely beautiful place to stay!!! Very friendly staff. Delicious breakfast!!! Onsite restaurant. Outdoor pool which was well kept. The ONLY downside was the road getting to and leaving the B&B. You have to drive carefully, a lot of potholes. With that being said, I would ABSOLUTELY stay at this lovely B&B again!!!

Wonderful experience! A perfect romantic getaway! The spacious room allowed us to spread out and feel at home. The pool and observation deck were just steps from our room. The on-site restaurant provided wonderful breakfasts, great pizza and meals to order. Be sure to get a 4x4 or drive slow up the mountain.
