This welcoming, relaxed spot in Matavun is just steps south of the entrance to the caves. It has four traditionally styled rooms with a total of 10 beds in a charming old farmhouse; we love the rustic old kitchen with the open fire. Bikes can be rented; meals can be arranged (and are highly praised).
