“Lovely private hotel with beautiful views and excellent breakfast”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Standard Double Room
- • Stayed 5 nights
눉The only slight drawback is that there is no lift and as the bedrooms are on three floors it can be a bit of a challenge to get to the top floor with cases. However, this is mentioned in the hotel information and there is usually a member of staff available to help.
눇Friendly welcome, spotlessly clean, superb breakfast with choice of almost anything cooked to order. The hotel is situated overlooking the sea and is a three minute walk to the beach ( a lot longer to get back!!!). Also only a five or so minute walk to the old town.

눉Bedroom was last one available and maybe as a result was right at the top of the building, causing difficulty to my wife who has a knee problem.
눇Room was rather too small for us. Staff were AI in all areas.
