“Lovely, welcoming hosts in a beautiful setting”
The breakfast was absolutely fantastic. Healthy and delicious. The evening meal was also wonderful. And we were served a pot of tea and homemade cake on arrival.

“Good people & Wonderful place”
Good: Wonderful decorated house. The room was very comfy and had all you needed for a good night sleep 😴. The garden 🪴 is beautiful and big and you can perfectly slow down from the day’s walk in case you are on the Stevenson way. Don’t forget to book the dinner 🍽️. Marie and Markus are excellent hosts and I enjoyed the evening very much trying to better my French. The food was absolutely delicious 😋 and Marie is a great cook 👩🍳. Thanks and congratulations to the place you have built!

“Exceptional stay in exceptional property”
The whole ambience of La Potala was exceptional. The hostess is obviously very proud of La Potala and its history - justifiably so. The facilities were excellent and evything was done to make the stay exceptional.

“Lovely warming hosts, set in a beautiful location that is home from home.”
The warm welcome ‘fit for a king’ was a total surprise, and well received. The attention of our hosts was ‘top class’ and throughout our short stay could not be more welcoming. The house is exemplary with a mixture of old and new styles with adorning artefacts of travel & of collection. The bedroom was comfortable, quiet and exquisitely decorated, well suited for all types of travellers. A personal thank you for hosting us for dinner as local facilities were closed; an excellent supper with conversation was enjoyed. A peaceful & restful sleep enabled us to feel energised for the next days hike on the Chemin de Stevenson post a glorious immense breakfast! Thank you so much Marie 🙏
