“Definitely the best hotel for our anniversary trip - can’t wait to come back!”
This place is just amazing. We got welcomed with prosecco, local cheese, dried fruit, and fresh flowers – such a lovely touch. Our room had a huge soaking tub, cute handmade clay mugs, really good local tea and coffee, and the softest alpaca bedding. The rooftop terrace with the fire pit was such a vibe, and the outdoor rain shower was so refreshing. Breakfast on our private patio was a highlight – those poached eggs with a local twist were absolutely perfect. We had total privacy and the self check-in was super easy. Everything felt cozy, calm, and full of thoughtful little details.

“Quaint, friendly B&B in an excellent location”
Not crowded, quite room and location. It felt like you can have peace. The location is great and neighborhood seems safe. There is parking! Breakfast was amazing and it is a pet friendly location. I loved the welcome treats for my dog and the sparkling wine for us!
