Living here makes the quiet town of Ambi become more beautiful and lovely. Whether I am with my girlfriend for the first two weeks or alone for the last week, I feel as comfortable and comfortable as home. The host, Tom San, is very considerate, generous and humorous. He will quickly help solve any problems no matter what. You can also feel the boss's love for Ambi as the only native Ambi person. He is an out-and-out life artist.I really like the living room with the open kitchen and the big wooden dining table. I feel very comfortable and relaxed when I cook and have breakfast there every day. The lighting in the house and rooms is very good, the hot water is hot enough, and the heating is strong enough. The room was just big enough to stretch on the floor when I got home. I had a few breakfasts and dinners provided by the B&B, which were all made with local ingredients and were very delicious.The most important thing is that the pick-up and drop-off from the ski resort is very convenient. I usually go there in the morning and return in the afternoon. Occasionally, I can take a walk home not far from the ski resort, which takes about the time it takes to slowly finish a stick of ice cream.If I come back to Ambi, I will still stay here!

This time I booked Arts Color, but I actually stayed in the boss’s other main building with a restaurant, Life is Beautiful (should be called Beautiful Life~). …

I’ve stayed here 5 separate years. I obviously hate it. So do all my friends who continue to join me, in greater numbers each year. Perhaps you too will grow to despise the warmth, the delicious breakfast/dinners, the very affordable comforts of Appi Arts and Life is Beautiful.

Tom, the boss, had nothing to do with us from the moment we arrived. He treated us like nothing and emphasized that he would only pick us up between 4 and 5 o'clock. If he didn't give us rides at other times, we would have to pay extra. In addition, he asked us to call a taxi ourselves (it turned out that the locals later Said there was no way to call a taxi)! Next, he kept leaving us where we were, otherwise he said we could rent skis, but our attitude was so bad and the skis were terrible, so we couldn’t rent them! Then they left us at a place where we rented ski equipment, but the people disappeared, and we ended up walking back to the B&B by ourselves in a snowstorm! There were so many bad things. In the end, there was no hot water, the heater was broken, and they deceived us into eating dinner. In the end, we were charged 4,400 per person! We moved out in embarrassment at 8:30 pm, and the other party was not willing to refund the fees for the next few days! Really miserable! The worst accommodation I have ever encountered, the boss with the worst attitude
