“Staying here feels personal; the family running it clearly pours their heart into the place. I particularly like that you can secure motorbikes in the garage-a thoughtful touch for touring cyclists. The mountain views from the garden and dining room are stunning, and I can see why guests rave about the home-cooked meals.”
