Мы бы предпочли разнообразный завтрак по меню скучному шведскому столу.
Pros:

Очень уютный бутик отель, наш номер был расположен на втором этаже, с террасы которого открывался великолепный вид на бухту и острова! Отель и все номера декорированы шикарной, старинной мебелью, картинами, посудой. Это создает особую атмосферу! Мы отлично провели свой отпуск и обязательно вернемся снова.

Pros:

Unfortunately, our stay was not comfortable.
At check-in, I requested breakfast for 7:45 AM, but when we arrived, nothing was ready; the staff only brought the food out just as we were leaving.
There was an unpleasant smell in the room, and the reception area was almost always unattended—we had to go searching for staff elsewhere on the hotel premises every single time.

Quiet and peaceful spot with a comfy bed and great breakfast!
Pros:

Clean, good facilities, quiet. Breakfast options were fantastic

Cons:

The hot water system - it wastes a lot of water before it gets hot and doesn’t get hot enough. Using the bath would have been lovely but the water never got hot enough. All that was missing was a proper hot shower and bath.
