Travelling party: Couple

Nice friendly welcome by the host. Quite small pitches but stunning views across the valley. We would stay again just for the views. Basic but very clean facilities. On-site restaurant 2 nights a week (low season) but no availability the night we were there so can’t comment on quality.

Travelling party: Couple

a warm welcome from the owners who were very friendly and helpful
mainly Netherlands people on site who were very friendly and approachable
the views from this site are incredible and they serve meals on the terrace with a pizza night on Sunday
roomy pitches and well kept although the showers could be a bit hotter
the vultures are easily seen and the house of vultures is close by,well worth the effort
plenty else there,we hope to be back s9n
