The property is definitely unique in the sense that there were unpleasant surprises at every turn. The property is located on the side of a remote hill approximately 1 km up a treacherous one lane path. The signage to the property was nonexistent. Offsite parking was approximately 500 m away
Thankfully, we had the foresight to purchase water, bread, cheese, and a bottle of wine in the closest town about 30 minutes away. If we had chosen not to we would have been forced to eat at the property. Meal "service" began at 9 pm and consisted of soup at €17 per person ...no other option! There are no stores or shops within 10 km of this property. Basically once you arrive at this "hostel" you are a hostage.
The tiny room, though clean, featured a single tiny window facing a barn. Unfortunately, one must crouch down one's knees in order to look out the window as it reached only 1 meter from the floor. We made the huge mistake of opening the window. Immediately, the room was flooded with aggressive flies forcing us to dine outside; unfortunately, once outside we were attacked by hordes of ravenous and determined cats. Hence we were forced to return to our tiny spartan room to eat our provisions.
There was only one small chair in the room, forcing one of us to sit on the bed.
And then the fun part… Trying to sleep was virtually impossible. There is absolutely NO soundproofing whatsoever throughout the auberge. Constant noisy people shouting, coughing, sneezing, flushing toilets,
