Somewhere quiet

The rooms
Apartments have fully equipped kitchens, and deep private balconies cut into the facade to look over the peaks.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The pool is maintained at 37°C year-round, set out on the lawn against a backdrop of pine trees.
The spa
An outdoor Finnish sauna is heated between 85°C and 95°C, set beside the spa's indoor relaxation lounge.
How it began
