Romantic Getaway Delight

helpful staffdetailed informationpoor seal

The staff showed themselves as helpful and attentive, always ready to assist. I needed a smaller pillow, and it was promptly provided. We also asked for wine glasses and they were delivered directly to our room, VERY considerate. On arrival, we received detailed information about local sights and helpful tips.

I found that the room windows were not closing properly, and cold wind came inside. I'd hoped for a better seal to maintain a more consistent temperature. This made the room less cozy than I anticipated.

Dining

Breakfast included vegetarian and vegan options like fried mushrooms and baked potatoes. Fresh salads, olives, fresh bread, and a wide variety of fruits were also available. Turkish coffee and tea tasted very good.
