“What strikes me is the visually aesthetic building, where original charm meets modern design, especially evident in rooms featuring jacuzzies and balconies with garden views; plus, the staff appear genuinely kind and helpful. I find the pool and garden area a real treat for relaxing after exploring, and the breakfast ideally suits most needs. I think you'll find it a surprisingly delightful stay.”
