L' accoglienza, la gentilezza sono uniche. La pulizia eccellente. La terrazza offre un panorama spettacolare da godere ad ogni ora, per bere, cenare o una buona lettura. Ho molto apprezzato la cena con grigliata sulla terrazza. La posizione della struttura è ottima per trekking. Se uno vuole, è possibile non spostare più l auto e visitare tutto l altopiano e oltre a piedi. Sono infine vicini sia Bolzano che Merano, la via del vino ...le buone cantine ..Lo consigli per chi ama ama la tranquillità, un ambiente familiare e curato.

We had an amazing few days in Chengdu with our guide Snow. The pandas were obviously a highlight, but we also really enjoyed exploring some of the other things Chengdu has to offer. Snow was a fantastic guide - super knowledgable having been born and bred in the area. Also very friendly and a joy to spend time with. Would definitely recommend her and this tour!
