Красивий готель, але трохи душний
Pros:

Розташування в самому центрі, цікавий історичний інтер'єр, 24/7 ресепшен, на дивовижу смачна кава зранку.

Cons:

Кімната погано провітрювалась, витяжка не працювала. Після душа довелось відкривати вікно, а воно заїдало, ну і щоб дотягнутись довелось відставлювати стіл.

Charming, Elegant and Amazing
Pros:

The property is beautiful, centric and well managed. There is a feel of medieval times and a sense of being in a castle. The art, antiques and decor is absolutely amazing. The property owner Cristina is great and very pleasant, helpful and always looking to better your stay and experience. Rosa at reception is also very helpful and went out of her way to make sure our stay was great. The town is fabulous and its people are marvelous. It’s a blessing to stay here and I plan on going back. This will be my go to place going forward.
