Very nice find… beautiful stay save for no AC … ceiling fan but still extremely hot even with windows open. I am normally cold. And this room was really hot! Still a great place for sleeping and relaxing. Breakfast was definitely excellent. I’d stay again.

The rooms are all arranged around the pool and a lovely yard. The owners and the staff are all fantastic. The room was compact but very clean and well-appointed. A little far from the center of town but there are numerous dining options within a five minute walk. Plan ahead on Sunday since most everything is closed.

A welcome break on our journey.
A simple hotel, our one night stay here was excellent. The rooms are set in gardens round a pool. There is a guest fridge and an honesty bar. We had the two garden rooms which are probably the best, they shared a partly covered terrace with a benches and tables. The cooked breakfast was delicious, a good choice of fruit, cereal and bacon, eggs etc. It is not a fancy hotel but a friendly guest house to which we would return.
