"A fantastic property with beautiful views, delicious breakfast and amazing staff. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. Our sunset view room was impeccable and well stocked. The welcome bottle of prosecco and snacks was just what we needed after a long day of travelling. The only issue was the iron I used and which deemed to be rusted and ended up staining my white shirt. The iron was swapped out when I noted this to the front desk, although they didn’t offer to do anything about my shirt. Overall, a great stay"

"Beautiful views, but we had no privacy sitting outside as our neighbour was sitting there smoking from early morning till late at night. And there was no wall between outside space. The room was very narrow and had a particular perfume smell and was noisy at night with probably other people’s airconditioning. The breakfast was really good. Lots of stairs, hard to get to our room with suitcases and nobody offered help. The views were really great and that makes it worth staying for 1 or 2 nights."
