When we first arrived, we were met at a run-down-looking building. That was not the hotel; it was where the hotel employees met us. They took our bags for us as the hotel was down a narrow street that would be considered an alleyway by American standards.
Once we reached the gate, the pearl was revealed. Modern distractions like TV and satellite do not mar this beautiful area. Gorgeous plant life and walkways enchant visitors almost as much as the owners' love for the place and sharing it with people.

Most of my pictures were too big to attach.

The owners and staff were very friendly and helpful. The grounds were beautiful and landscaped with indigenous plants. The mountain view at breakfast was amazing. Our room was huge and rustically decorated with our own bathroom and shower. The food at breakfast was delicious and authentic, but did accommodate American palates also. The owner and chef went out of their way to make sure my two picky eaters didn't go hungry. The owner, who is a native French speaker, helped my son practice his French. He also made sure the office was open late so I could get some work done during my trip. I can't say enough wonderful things about them. You will not regret staying here.
