This rustic, yet luxurious owner-run mountain retreat is the ideal escape from the harried pace of life, to a serene and scenic location.
Work up an appetite by enjoying outdoor activities such as trout fishing, bird-watching, hiking and horse-riding before savouring the taste of the globally recognised gourmet cuisine, prepared by award-winning chefs.
