Reviews and Ratings
The hotel feels more like a small flat with two spacious and nicely furnished rooms, featuring a big comfortable bed and a patio with table and chairs overlooking the beautiful garden and pool. The cleanliness and comfort were top-notch, offering a relaxing stay with our own little terrace.
I was fortunate to stay in a room that was beautifully furnished and is amongst the most comfortable I have stayed in. The indoor and outdoor bathroom added a touch of luxury to my stay. However, I discovered I could have upgraded to a much better room for half the price, which was a missed opportunity.
My stay at the hotel was simply wonderful. The private seating area in the rooms offered breathtaking views, making it a perfect spot to unwind. The grounds were beautiful, enhancing the overall experience. However, the dining left a bit to be desired with limited options.
