The staff were absolutely exceptional and made our stay feel warm and welcoming. The location is fantastic and puts you right in the heart of this beautiful town. Breakfast was okay, only hot option is boiling eggs. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and while parking is limited, the overall experience was charming and memorable.
