Security
Very good but please check all windows and doors are securely locked. The front bed with a balcony doesn’t even lock.
We had a break in through a window and the robber came into one of our bedrooms whilst asleep.
We never ever opened the windows during our stay but somehow the lock had been opened one night when we visited the old town.
Anyway worth a stay there just giving people some advice
