The property is brand new and well maintained, with a little of smell of fresh house. The view is truly impressive— we were even able to see a rainbow from the window, which was a lovely surprise. However, the Wi-Fi connection was quite slow during our stay, which may be inconvenient for guests who need stable internet access. In addition, I would strongly recommend booking dinner in advance or bringing sufficient food supplies. When we arrived at 1:30, the restaurant was already fully booked, and we were only able to have some snacks instead of a proper meal. Unfortunately, the children had to wait until the next morning to have a full breakfast. Overall, it is a beautiful place with great scenery, but guests should plan ahead regarding meals and internet needs.
