Reviews and Ratings
I had a lovely stay at this hotel, which is located in a beautiful area with stunning views. The rooms are charming but could really use some renovation, especially the bathrooms. The staff was friendly and welcoming, making my experience quite enjoyable. However, the dining experience could use some consistency, as some meals were great while others missed the mark. Overall, it's a good deal for the price, especially considering the serene location.
This hotel offers beautiful views, especially from the rooms overlooking the lush gardens and the sea. The staff is friendly and attentive, providing excellent service that feels personal. However, the location features a stone beach, which is not ideal for swimming or walking, particularly for families. Overall, it's a comfortable stay with some beautiful scenery, but the beach situation could be better.
My stay at this hotel was quite lovely overall! The rooms were nice and comfortable, offering stunning views of the surrounding hills. The staff was friendly, though the attention to guests could have been a bit more consistent. The location is beautiful, set in a well-kept park by the sea, but the beach is just rocky and not very swimmable, especially for kids. Dining was excellent with a good selection of local dishes. It's a great deal for what you get, but some areas could use a little renovation.
My stay was wonderful, with beautiful views overlooking the lush gardens and the sea. The rooms need some renovation, especially the bathrooms, but overall I had a lovely time. The service was good, with staff being courteous and attentive. However, I wish it felt a bit friendlier overall, as the family owners seemed more focused on themselves than the guests. Despite those minor issues, I found the location to be stunning and the price to be reasonable, although we spent quite a bit on wine during our meals.
