Romeni and her parents are such sweethearts! They made us feel at home from the first minute on. Their home made food was delicious and the room nice and clean. I had a cold when we arrived and they even prepared fresh lemon tea for me with lemons from their own garden. The 3,5h hiking Tour with Romeni’s dad was great. He showed us the cloudforest, tea plantages and some old villages. We can totally recommend staying with this lovely family!
