A couple of bigger towels would be nice.

The staff went above and beyond in making our stay special, ensuring all our needs were met. The breakfast options were plenty, offering fresh juice, fruit, and delicious local dishes that kept us satisfied. Our room was beautifully decorated, reflecting the character of the area with stunning garden views that elevated our experience.

The only downside was that the towels provided could be larger.

beautiful garden

wifi issue

Our stay was fantastic, with a lovely surprise of a free room upgrade and the comfiest bed we’ve ever slept in. We enjoyed relaxing in the beautiful garden area and loved the coffee in our room. The only minor hiccup was that the WiFi didn’t work inside our room, but it didn’t take away from our overall great experience! 🌟

comfortable family room

small pool

We had a delightful stay, especially enjoying the local breakfast with delicious dishes that the kids loved. The staff was genuinely warm and welcoming, which made it feel like a home away from home. Plus, the family room was a great fit for us.

My children wanted a larger pool area for playtime. Improving that would truly enhance family stays.

I had a fantastic stay at this recently opened hotel! The upgraded room was cozy and beautifully designed, and breakfast was a treat with delicious fresh fruit and homemade juice. Just a minor hiccup with the water heater was the only downside. I'd absolutely return!

Charming Stay with Room for Improvement

During my two-night solo trip, I appreciated the warm hospitality of the staff. The cozy queen room offered a nice escape, but I faced some challenges with WiFi connectivity. Breakfast was decent, although I found better options nearby. Consider trying local cafes for meals!
