Repetiria. Muy agradable el sitio y la atención
Pros:

Me ha encantado tanto la ubicación, como el estilo clásico siendo un edificio del siglo XVI. Era como un “mini palacete”. La atención muy buena y el desayuno muy abundante y bastante variado

Cons:

Por decir algo, los colchones, demasiado blando

Pros:

The locations and ambience and staff made it exactly what we wanted. Thank you so much!

Cons:

The door lock required a key to lock and unlock it. The effect of that is you actually get yourself locked in from the inside if there's two of you and one of you takes the key, locking the door from the outside, and leaves. Requiring a key to lock and unlock the door even from the inside can become a real safety problem, etc. That needs to get fixed immediately.

Pros:

La ubicacion es genial, justo en la calle principal. El edificio es una casa antigua muy peculiar la verdad. El desayuno bien también!

Cons:

La verdad que la habitacion bastante simple (vacia), la cama, un mueble y dos sillas para la habitacion tan grande, se queda un poco cojo. Solo una lampara en la mesilla de noche…faltan cosas la verdad
