We want to thank you for the hospitality. We really enjoyed our stay. The pool with 41c was super nice as we are people from cold Finland. The couple who handle the business here are fantastic! Cheers!

Over the top great! Excellent rooms, very friendly staff. Nice location just away from the downtown crowd. Our room had a beautiful garden with view of the lake. Best of all our very own mineral outdoor spa. We stayed two nights and used the spa constantly. You really need to stay here!

Great view. Really liked the layout of the apartment, the balcony, and the walk ability to nearby restaurants and the lake. The only downside is there's no elevator so you have to walk up to the second floor with your luggage, but it wasn't really a big deal. Very cute pool but not very large.
