“What a magical and romantic place - We loved Hotel Budir - So peaceful and yet so dramatic with all the amazing landscape - It's in the middle of nowhere and yet we had wonderful food every night. We just enjoyed walking through the lava fields and on the beaches and the view from the top of the Volcano was incredible"
