Lovely boutique hotel
Pros:

Lovely and charming. An absolute maze of hallways and stairs - fun exploring and trying to find our way around. Several comfortable and attractive terraces for lounging. If you need quiet, ask for a quieter room as they vary. Comfortable beds and linens. Large attractive rooms. Lovely attentive staff. Loved it!

Cons:

Breakfast was a mediocre buffet with several options (overpriced for the area at $14 USD per person).
