Past guests say ...
Great little retro alpine lodge with details in the decor. The view from the balcony / bedroom was fantastic! The accommodation itself is a short 2-3 min drive from the main village and shops.
Stephanie – Nov 2023
We had a great stay at Retro Inn, compact and homely. It had everything we needed. We really enjoyed being able to pop downstairs and have a game of table tennis. Loved the view!

Be ready to be thrown back into the ‘70s here. Everything from the artwork to the kitchen appliances all make you feel like you jumped back a few decades. Once you’ve adjusted to the time hop, it is quite charming, and the incredible views from the porch make it all worth it!
Kathryn – Mar 2023
This place goes above and beyond in a few key ways: first, the view is nothing but stunning (no need for TV here!), secondly there are plenty of heating options for cold nights, thirdly the table tennis is an excellent inclusion and finally, the loft space offers privacy and novelty – all making for great accommodation.
