The location, comfortable bed, very good food. Clean room, good hot shower (to be let to run for a bit as the water comes from a solar heater). The last 6km to reach the place is unpaved, quite bumpy road but worth to be drived

“perfect stay in a beautiful lodge”
The staff was really friendly and professional. The food was good with a nice restaurant located in the garden. Our room (in fact it was a tiny private house :-)) was so great, with a big bed and all basic equipment available (eg: TV, hot shower...). We had a beautiful view on the lake from our room. Indeed, the lodge is located just in front of the lake, with a beautiful garden where to rest and enjoy. The swimming pool was also great. Overal, it was an excellent stay, highly recommended!
