Un tuffo nel passato delle ns tradizioni
Pros:

Innanzitutto l idea dell albergo diffuso .

Ci si sente uno del posto anziché un turista.

Plauso a tutto lo staff

Naturalmente un plauso particolare a Daniele Kihlgren artefice del riportare in vita un borgo oramai abbandonato.

La cultura della semplicità e delle tradizioni

Bei paesaggi ed altri interessanti paesi / castelli nelle vicinanze.
Visita consigliata a tutti: grotte di Stiffe

Cons:

Difficolta' di parcheggio vicino alla struttura ma durante la settimana di ferragosto e' nella normalita'

Pros:

love the concept, the location and the way things are almost at their original state

Cons:

We payed 500 euros a night so expecting high level of detail. Hot water unreliable, light bulbs in the toilet didn't match the style and design. White light above the bed...
Room was great with a small living room but no comfortable seat, coffee/tea or other amenities to allow for relaxing time in the room.
