"it is a wild location, highly isolated. nothing is around for half and hour by car. no mobile connection but excellent starlink. the property is wonderful and peaceful. the mirrored houses are fully equipped with luxury standards. the outside area and BBQ are really charming. the instructions provided by the manager were very clear and detailed (i.e. we didn't get lost and we had an easy self-service check in). we highly recommend it."
