Run by the Cooperativa Enis, this place offers simple, rustic rooms, campsites and astonishingly lovely views from its hilltop location, 4km south of Oliena up a steep series of switchbacks off the SP22. This back-to-nature retreat is a great choice if you want to strike out into the mountains on foot.
