Lovely Stay

Beautifully kept small hotel, very close to old town . Nice staff. Room we had booked was fine but bed was too small, so we upgraded to a suite with a balcony and direct access to garden, which was excellent value for money. Parking quite restricted but fine with assistance

The hotel was not quite what we imagined as there were no facilities at all apart from tea and coffee making and pastries/biscuits in the room. This was mainly our fault as we hadn’t checked the details properly and didn’t realise there was no bar or breakfast. There is an outdoor pool but it didn’t look inviting. Staff are wonderful and helpful and the location is great so easy walking to the port and restaurants. The room was very clean. We had a sea view but in the distance over rooftops.

You should absolutely stay here if you are considering this hotel. Daniel and Katia, the two staff members with whom I engaged the most, are so professional and so genuinely kind. (they would even bring me by my name every day!) I stayed for one full week in a room with a beautiful balcony and wonderful amenities. They seem to think of everything that you might need and they go above and beyond in terms of what they provide in the room. They’re also very generous with the coffee and snacks that they provide each day and it wasn’t unusual for me to be asked by the team if I needed anything else. They genuinely wanted to make sure that my stay was as comfortable as possible. The hotel itself is beautiful and the location, in a spectacular neighborhood, is absolutely perfect and convenient to everything. Somehow you’re close to everything but it’s still a quiet peaceful street, and you really feel immersed in the real life of the residents. In the end, I think it is the staff who makes a place special and that was my experience here. I can’t thank them enough, and I definitely will return!
