Farmstay Resort Craveiral is set on a 9-hectare estate and consists of four buildings that are connected by wooden walkways. The main building houses the reception, the restaurant, and the wellness center (with indoor swimming pool, sauna, hamman). Spread over the other three buildings, you will find the 38 accommodations divided into studios and holiday homes with one or two bedrooms. One of these buildings, the most distant from the main building, has a private swimming pool in the patio.
All houses are equipped with a kitchenette or fitted kitchen (Some with SMEG appliances), comfortable beds (some with Hastings), a wood stove (except for the studios), a private terrace, internet, television, and air conditioning.
The almost self-sufficient Craveiral is managed sustainably, respecting both the natural as well as the socio-economic environment. So, rainwater is collected and filtered, old trees are fuel for the wood-burning stoves, and primarily products made by local farmers are used.
