The surroundings are great...quiet, not for party animals. The reception and the roommates (mostly permanent residents) were very nice and friendly. There's also plenty of variety by car. The pool is very nice and clean. The room is...youth hostel style...except the beds are next to each other...I'd say rustic is the best description. We stayed there for three days. The surroundings made up for the room for us and our dogs...it was OK for sleeping...
