Comments on Spa and Hike in the Summer Mountains:
"The Mountain Station was outstanding, the location, the amenities, the friendliness of the staff and the excellent food. Our room was very comfortable and we soon felt at home. We enjoyed our walks, the gradients were not too steep so you could reach the tops without great effort and enjoy the views. This holiday was everything that was presented on your website. My only regret was that we could not stay longer. We will definitely return to this wonderful country." Brendan
