Desde que llegas al lugar, te conectas con un escenario encantador. La buena energía se siente en cada detalle que te hace conectarte con cada vista que tiene hacia el pueblo y hacia la montaña. Las paredes de piedras, las enredaderas que se pierden por los jardines que adornan toda la propiedad te invitan a quedarte allí por mas horas de lo planeado. Al entrar a la habitacion, se puede respirar ese olor a madera que es muy agradable, la temperatura es perfecta dentro de las habitaciones y tiene unas ventanas muy adecuadas si quieres dejar que entre luz o si deseas mas privacidad también. Tuve la oportunidad de hospedarme en la habitacion Anaranjada, me encanto la cueva que esta dentro de la habitacion. Tienen que conocerla :) La atención de Lucho y Mayra es de lujo, te hacen sentir como si estuvieras en tu hogar, son amables, atentos y muy muy amigables con el medio ambiente. Un punto mas a favor es que dentro de la habitacion no se escucha casi nada del ruido exterior, pero si te gusta la naturaleza, en las mañanas puedes salir y escuchar las aves que cantan desde temprano. Tienes un trio de gatitos muy lindos, convivir con ellos fue un plus que no quise omitir. La limpieza de las habitaciones, la ropa de cama y el baño fue 10 de 10. Pude observar plantas tanto ornamentales como frutales que tienes muchos años y que ellos han plantado con mucho cariño, hay mucha historia en cada rincón del lugar. Definitivamente recomiendo ampliamente hospedarse en el Eco-hotel Refugio Romano. Felicidades por ofrecernos este lugar tan único en la zona.

Muy buena atención, muy limpio y con agua caliente. Pueden mejorar: La señal de internet es deficiente ya que no llega a los cuartos y los focos de los cuartos pudieran ser led de mayor intensidad .
