Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is at the top of a steep set of narrow wooden steps, offering cool rooms while outside is volcanic. It's easy to find with ample parking and a restaurant onsite. However, do not arrive before 1500 as you will not get in. The rooms are comfortable and pretty, set in a splendid isolated village surrounded by lovely countryside.
