“The location was handy, near the sea and with a lovely view. Rooms were comfortable, roomy, and spotless. Breakfast had plenty of variety and tasted great. Staff — from the manager to the cleaning team — were friendly and helpful.”

“The staff were excellent and the garden was beautiful.”

7.5Verified guest

“This hotel felt like a luxurious retreat for our holiday. Rooms were beautifully furnished with exclusive touches, including breakfast served on a private terrace with a view. The garden was perfect for relaxing, the pool and sun loungers were spotless, and the spa and sauna were ideal for a massage. The restaurant covered all our needs, and the bar was great for an evening drink. The only downside was that getting out and about was a little tricky, but it didn't spoil our stay.”
