Great place, great food and great host. Helen was a wonderful host making us feel at home right from the start. The house is lovely, it's warm spacious and homely.

We visited Raba 500 in February 2011 and were so delighted that I have booked a holiday for my wife and our granddaughter in summer 2012.

Can't recommend staying with Helen enough. It was a fantastic few days that we stayed in the mountains and we all enjoyed every bit.
