We went to Montanema Hand made village last weekend. We are a family with three kids. We had a two bedroom house with a kitchenette and 2 bathrooms. As we arrived in the house we were amazed by the view, the size of the bedrooms and also one of them was a master bedroom with its own fireplace and bathroom. |The food was of a very high quality, prepared with organic products and as a mother and a person that cooks a lot I could taste and enjoy the freshness of their milk,honey, hand made pasta, local meat, delicious eggs, marmalade for breakfast, home made cake, freshly brewed coffee etc. Really organic products. |They also make their own soap bars and liquid soap/shampoo and when I used them-they smelled lime honey! |The location is right near the forest, the view is breath-taking and there are various activities for the children and adults such as cookies baking for the little once and guided forest walking tours for big and small enthusiast.|The indoor pool and spa is not allowed for children but the in the outdoor pool in summer everyone is welcome.In general the children are so bizy with the activities that had been organized by the hotel and also my children was playing with the dogs , on the swings, they've visited the little farm on side that the day was gone before we knew it. |One thing potential visitors should keep in mind is the 4km sort of off road before you arrive at the settlement but for us it was a part of the adventure, nothing strenuous, we were perfectly fine with our Nissan X-trail and the children got even mire expected. |I've learned about this hotel from a mother's page on Fb and I highly recommend it to everyone who wish to...
Read moreThey say it’s a magical place, and they’re not wrong. ||The forest road- the last 15-20 minutes of the drive to get to the property is not for the faint of heart. The road is narrow, high in the mountains and scary but it’s totally worth it. ||The property itself is beautiful— stunning. The little jewel in the center of this mountain with the warmest people keeping this farm/property/eco lodge operating smoothly. The views are 10/10. The food which is all made fresh with veggies foraged from the forest, 10/10. The spa, while I didn’t have a treatment, the facility itself was perfect. And you reserve it for your room for 90 minutes, so it’s like your own personal spa. I had a family cabin, which was very comfortable for the 3 of us. There’s no tv, so you can really shut off. ||I’m not a hiker or camper by any means- but if you’re into outdoor stuff there were so many trails and outdoor activities. Any nature enthusiast would be obsessed with the place. ||Or if you’re like me, and you just want to escape the hustle and bustle of the city for a bit — get some fresh air — great food and great views. You’ll be obsessed with this place too!||I fell in love with the cats, the property and the people. It’s 1000% rejuvenation. My only regret was not getting the chance to forage with Don, but something to look forward...
Read moreI'll start with the good things: We are 2 families stayed for 3 nights on Augusts 2024. The place is beautiful, and the bumpy ride is not an issue, as mentioned on other reviews (in my opinion). The apartments are really nice, and although there's no air conditioning, it's not an issue. The staff is as kind and warm as can be. But there are 2 major issues that will prevent me from coming back: The place is 100% ecological and swarming with bees. My wife, my daughter, and I all got stung. They don't have an epipen shot for emergency, in case you happen to be allergic. And because the place is isolated, you will not have time to get to emergency assistance. My daughter did not want to leave the apartment, beeing so afraid of all the bees. If you are allergic to bees, this is NOT the place for you! The second issue is also related to the fact that the place is isolated. You will have to use the resort restaurant. The restaurant is highly overpriced, and all the meat dishes we ordered were inedible. Which is a shame cause they have such good ingredients. I believe both issues are fixable, which will make the...
