This was our second visit to the Hotel de L’Ours. Great location with many hike options in the surroundings. Marcelo did an amazing job showing us the different activities and highlights of the region. Every morning we were served a fresh amazing breakfast with many local products. This time we had dinner at the restaurant and the experience was very positive. Food was tasty and looked fantastic. Hotel in general and the room were spotless. The architecture and decoration are tasteful and the gardens well taken care of. The stuff is helpful and friendly and the owners are totally kind and made us feel like at home. For sure not our last visit to the hotel. Can highly recommend it.
