excellent stay

sea viewcomfortable bedadditional charge

i had a double room with a balcony and a lovely sea view. the location was good, a bit away from the center and the noise, but close enough to go for dinner and explore. the bed was comfortable and the shower was great. i also found the team covert and friendly.

i got delayed due to an accident on the motorway. my eta was about 8ish, but became 9:37pm. the owner called around 9ish and said if i took any longer than 37 minutes, she would charge me extra. i thought this was not a professional way to talk to a paying customer.
