The fine print

Need-to-know information for guests at this property

Recommended for adults, the property has easy access to their installments.

The glamping or dome rooms are 500 meters from the restaurant and reception. They require our specific transportation (check-in at 2:30, 5:30, or 7:30 p.m.) because the path is very steep and somewhat dangerous for inexperienced travelers.
