Pros:

Une expérience vraiment hors du commun !

Nous avons séjourné dans ce monastère bouddhiste et ce fut une découverte magnifique. Le logement est atypique dans le bon sens du terme, la chambre est propre, confortable, fonctionnelle et très agréable. On s'y sent bien dès les premiers instants.

Ce qui rend ce lieu unique, c'est la possibilité de participer à la vie du temple, avec une immersion authentique et apaisante qu'on ne trouve nulle part ailleurs.

L'environnement est splendide : au cœur d'une forêt, au bord d'une rivière, avec un café proposant des souvenirs sur place. L'accès en voiture est facile, ce qui est appréciable. Une cuisine est également à disposition des voyageurs.

Seul point à mentionner : la salle de bain est partagée avec les autres guests, mais la circulation est très fluide et l'espace est agréable et bien entretenu, aucun inconfort à signaler.

Une adresse que je recommande chaleureusement à tous ceux qui cherchent à sortir des sentiers battus. 🙏

Cadre magnifique
Pros:

La chambre était confortable et le lieu est magnifique, avec un cadre exceptionnel au sein du temple.

Cons:

Le dîner nous a un peu déçus : le concept manquait d’explications et le rapport qualité-prix nous a semblé assez élevé.
