Slightly whiffy, gloomy converted townhouse with lovely staff and breakfast.
Pros:

Friendly, helpful staff. A glass of prosecco on arrival. Excellent location. Great breakfast.

Cons:

The room was very dark. While I understand the building constraints (an internal, small courtyard), the lighting in the room was poor. Very difficult to read given the quality of lighting. The whole place is dark which must be an advantage in the height of Summer but this was February. 'Gloomy' comes to mind.
Also there seems to be, in these southern Mediterranean converted houses, an underlying sewer whiff which goes with the territory.
Breakfast was delicious but, once again, in a dark room with harsh spotlights.
My recommendation would be that staff spend 24 hours as a guest - try the room, all the facilities etc.

Pros:

Świetne położenie praktycznie w samym sercu starego miasta, ciekawie urządzone pokoje ( każdy inny), bardzo miła obsługa i wyśmienita restauracja - śniadania przepyszne, a wieczorna kolacja była niezapomnianym doznaniem.

Cons:

We had the terrace property with hot tub
The toilet smelt very unpleasant on check-in we notified receptionist to which they rectified the issue (bleach) still was not the best
Also I think the room and terrace are a bit tired
Not worth the money in my opinion
