You have to understand that this is in the countryside and can’t be compared to a city hotel. What it lacks in sophistication it has in an authentic cosy atmosphere.|my bedroom was compact with a small double bed, a table and chair and the room was set on the diagonal.

Returning to the hotel in late afternoon after a relatively tough 20km hike through the mountains, my room was ice cold. Awful. ||The only redeeming feature is the restaurant. The host was charming, funny and attentive and the food (pilgrim's menu) was wholesome, hot and tasty (and...
