Steph • September 24, 2013DEFINITELY a must do. The view is amazing, the surroundings are calming, and the hike isn't too strenuous, so everyone can do it!

Cleber F. • October 4, 2017Loved the place. It’s a unique guest house. The staff is very nice and helpful. The house is beautiful and very cozy and quiet. The guest house is bit far from the main attractions, 20 min walk.

Timothy B. • October 10, 2015Great fresh sour-dough breads, and a tasty selection of home baked donuts and pastries. Best in the neighbourhood.
