Our stay at this hotel was absolutely amazing. The owner and his team are incredibly friendly, helpful, and attentive. He went above and beyond to make our stay as perfect as possible. The owner is such a genuinely nice and charismatic person—it felt more like visiting a good friend than staying at a hotel. The rooms were beautifully furnished, and he did an outstanding job of preserving the charm of the 400-year-old building while seamlessly incorporating modern standards and comforts. We had a parking spot right in front of the hotel on the street. Since we were driving a rather large car (BMW X6), parking was a bit tight at first. However, the owner immediately moved his own car to give us more space—such a thoughtful gesture! All in all, if I could give more than 10 out of 10, I would happily rate our stay at least 15 out of 10!

Just back from a wonderful stay over the weekend, in this beautiful static home. The host was so helpful from start to finish, the place was spotlessly clean and in a fab location! We didn't have chance to visit the restaurant there, but it looked to be very lively in the evening which was nice. The kids loved the play area, and we took a late stroll to the beach for an evening breath of fresh air, which is literally a 5 min walk away at the bottom of the site. A great mini escape into nature, we will most definitely be visiting again soon.

Exceptional food, classy service, super comfy mattress and bedding, hidden getaway feel. My husband said that it might be the best cooked breakfast he has ever had (which is high praise indeed given we have been lucky enough to travel extensively to some very exclusive resorts and hotels around the world).
