the building had a lovely quality, a serene quiet surrounds it. rooms had these private balconies, oh, they were just basking in sun with their sun chairs. the food, it flowed like poetry, with cocktails crafted from quality and a great negroni, the service so thoughtful.
our room was on the top floor and it had sloping walls that were hard. we couldn't sit in bed to watch tv, or savour coffee. i also noticed some rogue hairs and the carpet it felt less clean.

Excellent Stay with Attentive Service

I appreciated the friendly staff from check-in to check-out. Our Superior Double Room provided glorious sea views. The bathroom featured a roll-top bath and a large walk-in shower, really nice, and I even purchased some body lotion because I liked the toiletries so much.
The lack of a lift made accessing our room a bit challenging, as it was located up several flights of stairs.
