When I read reviews about the Ark, I thought, why are they all pouring water? A fairy tale, a song, a dream, paradise... It is clear that people had a good rest, but write specific reviews - hair dryer, iron, internet, TV, slippers, bathrobes, towels, breakfasts...
And here I am writing a review
And I really want to start with the same words as the previous speakers)
This is a fairy tale, song, dream, paradise . . ))
Have you ever seen a full star dome in nature? Not in the planetarium, but live? When there are no city lights, no houses and nothing obstructs the view? This can only be seen in the open sea and on the tops of mountains. It's so great that it's even a little mystical.

The stars are everywhere, from all sides, they shine, they fly straight into the eyes with billions of small diamonds, the Milky Way stretches through the entire dome and many smaller nebulae create a layered look. The feeling that you are flying in a starship and even becomes a little scary that you will not find your way back)
There are not so many unusual hotels in the world, and especially in our country. And I would love to visit each of them. Therefore, choosing a place of deployment for recreation, I shovel a huge number of proposals. And I find.
This time - mountain hotel "Ark".
Imagine - a mountain top, two huge barrels, a ship turned upside down, a small house, a stone cellar bottle, windmills, a cross and antenna masts. And horses. And mountains, mountains, mountains. . .
The Ark is not really a hotel, I would rather call it a guest house. Only 6 rooms, the hospitality and openness of the owners and staff, plentiful, simple food.
Special world.
The feeling that you are visiting.
At the same time, no one bothers you, no one follows you, but you don’t want to strain the owners once again. There is no impeccability and aloofness of hotels. This is the House.
But very odd)
Now, on the downside, the hotel is NOT suitable for people who are looking for a glamorous getaway.
The Ark is a hermit hotel. All day long you will wander through the mountains, or through the forest, or wallow on a swing at the edge of the world, interrupted only by food that will be too plentiful and too tasty.
You will not be able to walk your outfits, break away at the disco, "build" the staff... You will only be saturated with nature.
Ready? )
For me, in any hotel, the main thing is the view from the window) We had an enchanting view. But there are two rooms with windows under the ceiling. If the view is also important to you, then you should ask about it when ordering a room.
There are very unusual beds. You won’t be able to sleep embracing) But in general it’s comfortable to sleep - both pillows and orthopedic mattresses. Climbing is not convenient for everyone, though)
The bathroom is well equipped, but the washbasin is too small. There are no cosmetics, only liquid soap.

The interior of the cabin (yes, it's an ark, that's why the cabins! ) is very simple - a bed, two bedside tables, a built-in wardrobe, a small TV on the wall. Everything is wooden, very pleasant to the touch, everyone walks barefoot and this is also very pleasant to the touch.
There is no pool. That is, it is in the photo, but already too active vacationers managed to break it. For me it was really a disadvantage.
Fed at the hotel three times a day, but tea, coffee can be drunk at any time. The food is very plentiful. And they ask again - do you want more? Everything is delicious, but it usually doesn’t reach the supplement, the portions are already huge. If you are asked what to cook for breakfast, choose cheesecakes. They are delicious there. Although everything is delicious there, but cheesecakes are the pinnacle of bliss.
There is definitely an iron, but not in the room. There are no slippers. I didn't try to look for a hair dryer, but it's not in the room. The Internet is normal, in the rooms and on the territory there is a good signal, but it gets weak to the rocker. On a swing, even the phone does not always pick up a signal. Televisions are old, small, suddenly someone cares.
Two towels. good quality. Very good bed. Very clean.
What I did not say, ask, I will answer with pleasure.
I really liked it! It is unusual, it is sincere, it is close to nature and quite comfortable. I am not inclined to come a second time to the same place, but here, perhaps, I will return. When will the pool be
