“Exceptional hospitality and very clean place – highly recommended!”
Hospitality: The family is incredibly sweet and welcoming. They greeted us with a lovely welcome drink and even helped us with our luggage both at check-in and check-out. Location: Perfect location! It is only a 3-minute walk to the town center, yet it is very quiet as it’s tucked away in a small side street. Breakfast: The breakfast is amazing and very rich. They serve it right on your private terrace, which was a highlight of our stay. Services: They offer laundry service at a reasonable price. They are also very helpful with activity recommendations and can book tours/programs for you directly. The Garden: The garden is beautiful and well-kept, creating a peaceful atmosphere. Note for future guests: We stayed in the Deluxe Queen Room. It’s important to know that the bathroom door is made of clear glass, so it is transparent.
