Owners and staff repeatedly described as friendly, welcoming and helpful (assisting with luggage, attentive), despite an unconventional reception setup.
Location
10
Exceptional — located in the heart of the historic old town/fortress with unbeatable views and unique access to local attractions (parking outside the town is required).
Room Quality
7.9
Rooms are spacious and charmingly rustic but often dated; reports of sagging/old mattresses and need for some renovations.
Amenities
9.1
Limited on-site amenities but notable local offerings (wine tasting bar); reception is small/unconventional and in-room coffee was basic (Nespresso).
Value for Money
8.6
Generally good value given the unique location and experience, though some guests expected higher standards (e.g., coffee, upkeep) for the price.
Food and Beverage
8.5
Breakfast experiences varied from excellent to mediocre; coffee quality was a recurring disappointment (Nespresso/cold milk).
Overall Experience
9.6
Overall highly positive — exceptional hospitality, stunning views and a unique historic setting; minor issues did not outweigh the experience for most guests.

Ne séjournez pas ailleurs que dans l’enceinte.
Pros:

Nous avions une chambre merveilleuse, la terrasse nous a permis de voir le lever du soleil. C’est comme un retour dans le temps, aucun véhicule dans l’enceinte, seulement des chevaux ont été vus le matin. On nous offre également de l’aide pour le transport de nos bagages puisque les rues mettent à rude épreuve les roulettes des valises.
Le petit déjeuner est généreux et diversifié, a ajouter s’il n’est pas inclus dans le forfait.

Cons:

En fait, l’accès est compliqué mais c’est la même chose pour tous les hébergements sur le site, ce n’est pas un cachette, il faut seulement être informé et préparé, il y a un débarcadère à l’entrée et la réception est tout près du débarcadère, les employés peuvent porter les bagages depuis ce point. C’est donc l’un des hébergements les plus simples sur place.

Good accommodation in an historic castle town.
Pros:

Good location in fantastic historic castle town. Everything there is redolent with history of the location. Good restaurants and shops nearby. Good rooms except for access problem.

Cons:

Room access via a tight spiral stair was difficult, particularly with luggage. We think that this was an acceptable price to pay in such an historic location where most buildings date back over 1000 years.

Pros:

We were in Room 6 with a spectacular view of the sea. The windows and casements were lovely, as were the simple but comfortable furnishings.

Cons:

My towel kept sleeping off the peg into shower water.
