We were at the hotel from August 6th to 16th this year. There were four of us - me, my wife, and two daughters 2 and 4 years old. The hotel was looked after 3 years ago, but they were afraid to risk going into the wilderness to (and from) which is difficult to get with young children. But, in fact, it was the location of the hotel in the wilderness, far from the settlements (and the people who inhabit them) that bribed the prospect of a relaxing holiday, which is simply not possible in urban conditions. And he fully justified himself, but let's go in order. I don’t know what the reader of this review will be most interested in, so I will describe everything.
1) BOOKING AND ADVANCE PAYMENT
We phoned Valery a few weeks before our visit, agreed on the date and amount of the prepayment (which amounted to 50% of the total cost of our stay at the hotel, including the transfer from Chernivtsi, and back). I put money on the Privat card, and received confirmation that everything is OK, they are waiting for us. At this stage (as, indeed, all the rest of the time), Valery was very kind, friendly, and willingly answered all our questions regarding the upcoming holiday.

2) TRANSFER TO THE HOTEL.
Valery met us in the lobby of the station upon arrival in Chernivtsi. On the way to the village, he willingly told many interesting facts about the history of Chernivtsi, the Chernivtsi region, its geography, the life of the population, and similar educational things. Fascinated by these conversations, we drove to the village of Dolishny Shepot, where we transferred to an SUV and drove along the pass to the mountain. The ascent to the pass turned out to be very spectacular and colorful, and left a lot of positive impressions from what he saw and heard.
3) HOTEL AND INTERIOR
The hotel itself currently has 6 rooms. For all the time of our stay in it, on average, 3 of them were occupied. However, 10 days is a rather short period of time, and it cannot be indicative. The rooms are of different sizes. In one of the two most spacious rooms, we had enough space for things, both for us and for the children to play (more on this later). The rooms are modest, no frills, but at the same time quite comfortable, very clean and tidy, with no broken furniture or anything not working. Despite the fact that I have been many times in hotels of various levels from the UK to Australia, and got used to certain standards, the only 2 things that I at one time or another wanted to see in the room during my stay were a TV with a larger diagonal, and the presence tub in the bathroom. This is if you list, well, just do everything that I just do have a desire to see. But even without it, I was completely comfortable.
The rooms themselves are on the second floor. On the first floor there is a hall, a dining room, and utility rooms. The interior is very interesting, and as clean and tidy as the rooms.
4) STAFF

At the time of our vacation, the staff consisted of 4 people: Valery, Natalia, Marina and Yura. All as one friendly, pleasant to talk to, and at any time ready to help you on any issue. I will not paint who is who, and who does what, because. I don't know all the details myself. Yes, it doesn't matter. What's really important is that their relationship with you can be described as "human" and not a "staff-client" relationship. You find yourself in a family, of which you become a temporary member. In this case, no one will burden you with anything. It's all pretty unique, and nice. In general, there is a solid 5+. Marinochka separate greetings from the children!
5) FOOD
I am very picky about food. That is, I eat what they give, but with pleasure I eat a little. With the exception of a very limited set of dishes, guess what I would like to eat now is from a series of winning the lottery. The hotel did not have much to choose, because. the set of dishes served for one meal is limited, and there will not be such as in Turkish-Egyptian-Greek and other all-inclusives. We read the reviews and were prepared for this. And I was just shocked how it is possible to cook the dishes I like so consistently from products that I don’t eat in principle. That's without exaggeration. The taste of the food was simply outstanding. The portions were big. Not that very large (3 times I went to ask for an addition), but not small either. In general, I never left the table hungry.
6) NATURE AND ENTERTAINMENT
What did we do for 10 days?
- Gathered berries. Berries were collected dofiga. That is really dofiga collected berries. That's really dofiga. And it was cool. We mainly harvested raspberries. Raspberries there are just dark darkness. As if raspberries decided to take over the planet, and started with local ones. And delicious... I can’t convey. After that I tried the store - I ate a couple of berries, and set aside. I can’t yet, my impressions are too fresh. It's also full of blueberries. Collected in a vessel, and then eaten with spoons. We caught the beginning of the blackberry season, but already at the very end. Blackberries there will also be immeasurable.
- Walked through the forest. Unfortunately, with two small children, you can’t walk especially through the forest. But there is a paradise for mushroom pickers. I saw the "catch" of other vacationers - very impressive. Basically, by the way, white fungus.
- We rode horses, fed animals, rode on a swing, stupidly rolled on a mat on the grass near the hotel (mode: "vegetable" ; ) ).

- While the children were sleeping, they watched TV (several dozen channels, good reception quality), or climbed the net (connection quality, again, good).
- Played bingo, cards, and classic board games from those that were in the hotel.
- Valery offered to go to the aviary, but we decided that it would be better to just take a walk.
Instead of summary:
In general, the rest (which was what we were striving for) turned out to be as calm and peaceful as possible. The guys from the hotel did their best to make it happen. The local nature is very impressive. In terms of the level of relaxation and disconnection from the daily routine, in 10 days I got the same (if not better) result as in 2 weeks at sea somewhere over the hill. Specifically, from this vacation I needed just such a result, and we did not miscalculate here.
