“In my opinion, this meticulously restored hotel offers exceptional service and immaculate rooms, some with sea views; the breakfast is also noteworthy. The owner's compassion during a cyclist's unexpected plight further speaks volumes about the hotel's character and hospitality, extending beyond expectations. A stay here promises dedicated care and remarkable attention to detail.”

friendly staff pin code morning coffee small room limited space missing bar

the staff were friendly. they provided the pin code for entry because i arrived late. i also received breakfast and drinks each morning (the coffee was very good!).

my room was quite small. there was not much space to move around after putting my bags down. also, the lack of an available bar was disappointing to me

a cute stay

room keys plentiful breakfast friendly staff

The hotel gave keys for both the front door and the room, it was a thoughtful touch! the breakfast was lovely and plentiful, a good start to each day, really. i found the host and staff to be genuinely friendly. Their warmth.

I did notice that, although warned about it being a wedding venue, the party noise was quite disturbing. it went on later than i expected. I wished i had brought earplugs.

Rooms

9/10

My room faced the sea. It offered beautiful views right from the king bed, made waking up so peaceful. it really enhanced the feeling of rest, i believe. the room was tastefully decorated and spotlessly clean.
