Charming Stay in Historic Setting

attentive staffhomemade cakefresh fruitunique charm

I found the staff very attentive and helpful throughout my stay. I particularly enjoyed the daily homemade cake. Breakfast in the courtyard offered fresh fruit and local pastries. The artwork displayed throughout the building added to the unique charm of the place.

The bed linen, though of high quality, felt slightly too heavy for the warm climate..
