This comfortable getaway is a great example of the new breed of classy mountain retreats. It’s a new, quasi-traditional building, with large spaces for guests to hang out and well-proportioned bedrooms that have a warm, somewhat alpine feel to them. The loft rooms on the top floor are especially cosy. With a large sitting and dining room, a second bar/lounge with music and movies playing on a large screen, an good-sized indoor swimming pool flanked by deckchairs, the place caters to all moods: the bedrooms are great for romantic cocooning; you can curl up by the fireplace in the sitting room with a book; if you want a little more action you can have drinks in the bar; the pool will do if you want burn a few calories; and for some indulgence there is a large Jacuzzi, a hammam and a massage parlour. Please note: the hotel has recently come under new management and I have not been back since.
