Wonderful kind people in a beautiful setting. Immaculately maintained. Would highly recommend! Only advice is if possible don’t go for the downstairs room (unless there is no choice) - it’s small and more suited to one guest rather than two.

Lovely Hotel - and excellent staff!

The front desk staff, Cristina and Sandra were absolutely amazing! They answered many questions, made festival and location recommendations, and even assisted with obtaining a taxi. They both provided professional, friendly service with expertise and kind guidance. It was a wonderful stay!

A charming comforting place.

I loved this hotel. It is quaint with traditional details. The young ladies who work at the front desk are the most welcoming, charming hostesses! The beds are older but we still slept well. The location was wonderful. The only difficulty is getting your luggage to the hotel but you can avoid this problem by arriving when taxi’s are permitted on the street. I did not but I would still return and drag luggage through the historic area to be greeted so kindly.
