Some things we did not like : Bunk beds are very close to one another, and you cannot sit up straight on them. Service is correct but not friendly and warm, the first info we got when we arrived was : “these are the rules…”. Access to the restaurant is limited, which is not a problem when the weather is good but annoying when it’s chilly and cold. No meat left for breakfast.

Lunch was delicious, with a choice of platters and plain or concia polenta accompanied by stews, vegetables, or simply au gratin. There's a small alpaca farm on site, with three friendly and sociable alpacas, all of which are provided for a fee of grass. Easily accessible.
