lux 5 star hahah joke it is 0 star accomodation but we have basic...also what you need to know that is an old house more than 100 years old we have old beds with natural madrases made of canabis and corn leafes ( yes canabis is marihuana if you ask yourself :))) BUT 100 years ago ppl use that for making cloths and items not smoking ) .maybe it is not luxury but you will sleep like a baby during hot sumer days. So if you like camping conditions this will be just ok for you.
