Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is nestled in a lovely garden with big mature trees, offering a picturesque setting close to the town center and the sea front. The rooms are charming, some featuring a bath, and provide a delightful view of the garden. The service is top-notch, with a very professional and amusing waiter taking care of your needs. However, the dining experience lacked variety, with only baked chocolate cakes available. A great value for money stay with the charm of nature around.
