Für eine Übernachtung war es ok. In der Nacht wurde es recht kühl im Zimmer, die Fenster sind nicht dicht. Das Mobiliar ist recht in die Jahre gekommen. Fußläufig sind die Restaurants von dort aus sehr gut erreichbar und es mangelt nicht an Parkmöglichkeiten. Es gab am Morgen englisches Frühstück mit einer tollen Aussicht auf die Berge.

Tolles Guesthouse kurz vor dem Zentrum

Nach anstrengende Fahrt durch die Dunkelheit wurde in einer Kleinstaße sehr freundlich empfangen. Zimmer und Service waren überragend. Das Frühstück großartig. Der Pool für ein Guesthouse relativ groß. Hier würde ich gerne wieder übernachten.
