Reviews and Ratings
The hotel boasts stunning views over the countryside and the sea from the well-presented rooms, although lacking privacy due to its location above the front entrance. The bathroom is nice but having only a bath was a bit disappointing. The service was top-notch, and the location was exceptional with breathtaking sea views and proximity to the beach. The dining experience was mixed, with some dishes falling short of expectations. Overall, a place with beautiful views but some room for improvement.
Staying at this hotel was a dream come true! The rooms were delightful, opening up through French doors onto our own private deck overlooking delightful gardens with spectacular sea views. The service was exceptional, and the location was perfect perched above a small beach and on the coast path for easy rambling. The dining experience was superb, and the facilities were top-notch. A truly remarkable stay with just a few minor drawbacks.
The hotel offers a charming setting with rooms accessed across the courtyard featuring our own little terrace. While they are a bit overpriced compared to other luxury options, the space felt slightly cramped with some minor improvements needed. The service, location, and dining experience were highlights of our stay.
