A place where nature and comfort meet. We were so grateful to spend our much-needed rest in this beautiful place. Unlike any of the modern, fast-growing hotels, this one carries the beauty of time — its slow rhythm, peaceful silence, and quiet charm that still feels alive in its own way. I fell in love with every part of the hotel — its stunning architecture, the kind and welcoming staff, and even the little kittens that wandered around as if they belonged there. My favorite moment was waking up in the morning to soft sunlight streaming through the antique window, surrounded by lush greenery outside. Going downstairs to greet the lovely staff in their classic uniforms, being served homemade yogurt, freshly baked bread, and a cup of brewed coffee with fresh real fruit juice— it all became my perfect morning ritual. After breakfast, I enjoyed exploring every corner of the hotel — petting the kittens, playing chess in the cozy library — and every simple thing felt more delightful than anything else. It was truly an honor to experience such warmth — a home away from home. I’m deeply grateful for everything here, and I’m sure I’ll return very soon. And a special, heartfelt thanks to Amy — you made our stay even more wonderful, though I thought it couldn’t possibly get any better. Thank you, truly. 💛
