Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is nestled in a beautiful part of the world, blending old and new decor in the center of the village. The rooms offer a comfy bed and top-notch facilities, but the dining could use some more local jams to enhance the experience. Value for money is superb throughout.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location is amazing, right in the heart of the village and so close to both the town and the sea. The rooms were cozy and had very good facilities, making my stay super comfortable. The service was exceptional, especially considering the current challenges with staff shortages. Although dining was delightful with the best fruit salad ever, I did find the prices slightly on the higher side. Overall, a great value for money experience.
The hotel is wonderfully situated in the heart of the Village, with a charming blend of old and new décor in the nearby restaurants. The on-suite bathrooms were lovely, but there were some issues with the pricing that affected the overall value. The beds were incredibly cozy, though!
