She couldn’t do enough to make our stay comfortable even to booking restaurants for us and ensuring we had a good table. The guest house is furnished in an old fashioned style which suits the house. Our room was extremely spacious as was the bathroom. Outside a large terrace was well furnished and overlooked the beautiful garden and over to the mountains. Walkable to town and restaurants. ##### Susan Stayed 1 night in Feb 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### MARGARET 10 Feb 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### verything you could wish for-and more! Everything was perfect. The room was spacious, bed was very comfortable. The owner Daniella was amazing - so friendly and helpful. You basically get the run of the house, with complimentary coffee, cake and cookies, not to mention sherry and muscadel - so many lovely touches with this guest house. I highly recommend. ##### MARGARET Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 3 Jan 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The property was once an elegant home.

Вполне хороший guesthouse. Расположен немного в стороне от основных ресторанов, но т.к. мы были на машине, то все было удобно . Хороший WiFi и отличный кондиционер. Хороший завтрак и комфортная комната. Все было отлично. Единственное но - бассейн очень маленького размера. Плавать невозможено, только можно окунуться. ##### Elena Stayed 1 night in Dec 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 25 Mar 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Ruhige Hotel Im grüne und ruhiger Ort.
