“We will be back!”
Great location. Not too far from the Center, within walking distance. Relaxing and calm, with lots of green around the house, which has lots of character but has been modernised in a nice way. Amazing breakfast and super friendly staff. We will be back!

“Amazing place, amazing owner and amazing staff. You need to stay here to believe it!”
We were greeted by the most amazing host, after a long journey. The property was simply fantastic, award winning in every way. The interior design was like something out of a design brochure, with very clever and classy injects. The building, facilities and staff are delightful. The food was brilliant, especially the afternoon snacks and the fresh breakfast selections. The suites are immaculate and the housekeeper is extremely precise and hardworking. The owner even provided public transport tickets so you can make the most of the surrounding areas, everything was thought of and provided. I just don’t have enough space for all the amazing things that travellers will experience here. I will make a point of returning and enjoying this again.
