disinfectant smell blocked drain
The breakfast was very good (especially the promptness!).
I stayed in a downstairs room near the main entrance. It was nearly impossible to sleep. I heard every movement and conversation in the house at all hours. The room had a strong disinfectant smell, and the bathroom smelled like a blocked drain.

Really good hospitality and delicious breakfast

helpful staff fresh breakfast options prepared juices
I found the staff helpful. They explained everything thoroughly. A guide provided local eateries and activities. Breakfast featured freshly prepared, hot options, including egg dishes, porridge, and granola with yoghurt. Juices at breakfast were AMAZING!!!
My ground floor room was next to the main entrance. I could hear every movement and conversation. Sleeping proved nearly impossible.
