United KingdomBeautiful historic building in a fab location. Room had everything we needed and nice white bedding, hot shower with toiletries, great sky channels, bed comfy. Icing on the cake was the wonderful family run cafe with signature roasted coffee - fabulous !
United KingdomThe room was cozy and spacious. They brought us a large bottle of fresh water every day, there was tea and coffee as well as a kettle in our room, and bathing gel, shampoo and conditioner in the bathroom. We were able to use both the fan and AC, which was very much appreciated. Carlos, the owner, is incredibly kind and helpful. He made sure we were well taken care off from the beginning until the end. You can tell he has been running a guesthouse for a long time!
SpainThe location is excellent, you are minutes from everything. Staff are really helpful, even down to booking our train tickets to Mumbai for us. The room was spacoius and well equipped - fridge, kettle, safe, desk, rocking chairs and plenty of storage space. Bathroom had hot water and nice toiletries. Both room and bathroom were very clean. Cafe downstairs was brilliant for breakfast, lovely coffee and food.

Legal information
Private hosts
Hosts who have registered with Booking.com as a private host are parties that rent out their property or properties for purposes which are outside their trade, business, or profession. They are not officially traders (like a global hotel chain) and therefore may not fall under the same consumer protection rules under EU law, but don’t worry, Booking.com provides you with the same customer service as we do with any stay. This doesn’t mean that your stay or experience will be any different than booking with a professional host.
