We stayed for 2 nights in the Chulia suite. Staff were extremely friendly, helpful, and accomodating. The location couldn't have been better - everything was so close to hand! The character and style of the hotel is gorgeous - we loved that it was small and immaculately kept. We ate at the restaurant (at very short notice) and the food was fantastic and very well priced.
