10/10 Exceptional

The incredible views and warm and welcoming proprietors really stood out. Our room was comfortable, clean and spacious. We arrived rather late and only stayed one night, so we didn't avail ourselves of all they had to offer (e.g., cold pool, hot tub and breakfast). But we would gladly stay there again.

A lovely warm welcome from Alby, shown to a beautiful chalet with panoramic views. There is a comfortable lounge/kitchen area, with a double bed on the first floor. 1 hour drive to the east coast and fortunately the weather has suddenly changed to full sun shine. We have decided to stay for 2 more nights.
