Went above and beyond my expectations for a great price
Pros:

The staff were so friendly, the hotel and its surroundings were so beautiful and had an awesome location. The complimentary breakfast was cooked to order and excellent. They offered bicycles to ride for free and had local wine and beer available in the evenings. Our room was just what we needed and quiet. I absolutely loved it.

The hotel was historic so if you are looking for a 5 star hotel, this one is not for you.
Pros:

The hotel had a lot of charm. The breakfast that was provided was made to order and delicious. Rooms were small but very cozy. The few people we met that worked there were friendly and accommodating. The hotel was right in the center of everything and within walking distance of the stores, restaurants and beaches.
