Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers stunning views along the coast and well-kept gardens; however, the rooms are pretty basic. The service is professional and friendly, with lovely furniture located in the main building. The location is great, close to historical sites but with many steps in the hotel area. The dining experience is quite underwhelming, with simple pastries, coffee, and fruit served. Overall, a nice place with room for improvement.
