Our stay was exceptional. The cottage was beautiful with new equipment, set in an excellent mountain location. What stood out were the wonderful owners who made us feel incredibly welcome. The breakfast was excellent. Lots of hummingbirds. Too bad we were only here for one day; I could easily imagine staying a few more days. I warmly recommend it.

The French owners are very sweet and helpful for any questions. There were comments about difficult road access but it clearly has been improved since, we had a 4x4 but the road is a very easy matter at time of writing.

One of us is vegan and the staff always found a way to cook him up something delicious, off menu.
