Horriblw

Look elsewhere. This place is such a disappointment and at best, three star accomodation. Please take the time to look at other recommendations. I wish we did. It is hard to know where to begin. It was obviously once a great place that is now run on a shoestring budget. Only 1-2 people running the whole place. The buildings are poorly maintained and dilapidated. It feels as if the place has been left to rot and is in dire need of some investment. The rooms and bathrooms are dated and barely functional. For example, TVs are from 20 years ago and only have analogue channels. Water pressure is a trickle out of the shower. Rooms are barely stocked and feel dirty and used. Hardly what you expect from five star hotel. The grounds are poorly maintained and riddled with thistles and weeds. It almost feels dystopian walking around. It is such a shame. I travel a lot and stay at a lot of hotels and this place would have to be the worst. I wish I took some photos

Elegant villa - running on a shoe string

Lovely villa in it's day.However, no management present , one person left to manage front desk and the few guests, cold breakfast cooked by a novice with 8 baked beans.No lifts for the 3 flights of stairs, no aircon, no fire safety drill or alarm as you are left alone overnight. Falsely advertised as luxury , I've been to better B&B. Shame it's not better managed and looked after as the building is beautiful. This is a 3 star bed and breakfast at best ,

Delightful stay

If I was on my honeymoon I would want to stay there. How can things be improved? You could upgrade your WiFi. We found it slow and so inadequate we couldn't use it. We were in room 5 and there was a faulty electrical wire or connection on the left side of the bed(when looking at it). Also the phone was faulty.
