Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is in a cute little town with an attractive area, making it perfect for exploring. The rooms, though a bit small, have everything you need and are quite comfortable for a good night's rest. The electric shower was slow, but the view over the garden was fabulous.
The hotel is conveniently located near local amenities with comfortable rooms, secure Wi-Fi, and superb home-cooked meals. However, the layout may not be ideal for couples, and the summer ambiance could be improved.
The hotel offered a cozy stay with minor room size issues, but overall pleasant. It was a very small double room instead of the one booked, which didn't impact the overall experience negatively. The location was excellent for exploring local attractions, with easy access to bars and galleries. The dining options were good, although there were some service delays. Friendly staff provided personalized service, catering to dietary needs and offering recommendations for local activities.
