In its awesome setting with splendid views of the mountains and running with crystal clear streams and waterfalls, Cleopatra is the ultimate in peace, tranquility and solitude.
It is ideal for its intended purpose as a restful refuge with professional yet understated service and most of all a gourmet experience to remember.
All the ingredients are in place for a complete treat:
* warm snug beds with mohair blankets and crisp, fresh cotton sheets
* a spectacular view of the mist covered mountains emerging from the early morning sun
* the aromas of a country kitchen tempting hunger heightened by the brisk mountain air
* loving meals of hearty soups
* vegetables, freshly caught trout, local cheeses and homemade breads
* bundles of fresh herbs and vegetables just picked from the kitchen garden
* a friendly dining room filled with the quiet buzz of contented conversations
* a roaring fire in the lounge, cantilevered over a trout-filled dam.
Choose just the right wine from the underground wine cellar and prepare your senses for the tastes and flavours for the food. Passion and dedication are the keywords in the Cleopatra kitchen.
