to get started.

Our host, Marco was really nice and welcoming. The house is beautiful, with an amazing rooftop where you can eat. The breakfast is included, with pastries, fresh fruit, yogurt, savory option available too.. We really enjoyed our stay although it was only for a night!

Perfect room for 4 ladies on a girly break! We had a ball, so close to all bars, restaurants and beaches. Quirky B&B with lovely brekkie every morning fresh from the bakery.

Friendly welcome, nice terrace and a lovely breakfast!

We had a lovely stay at the Old School Guesthouse. The host is very generous and kind, there are two bicycles for the guests and the location is gorgeous, right in the middle of the old town. The breakfast on the rooftop terrace was amazing. The kitchen is really well equipped and the flat is very cosy and nicely furnished.

Marco is a very welcoming host and the apartment is really beautiful. It has even a roof terrace. You can also use the bicycles for free. Every morning Marco brought fresh pastries and buns for us and in the fridge we were provided with all we needed for a lovely breakfast. It's conveniently located in the old town and near to the beaches and with shops nearby. We would definitely book again!

In centre of the town and also easy walk to good beaches. Staff very friendly.

Dave

Loved our stay at the guesthouse. We had a two bed room with private bathroom and there was plenty of room for 3 of us. The breakfast was wonderful down at the cafe. The kitchen facilities and balcony available in the guesthouse were superb and added an extra touch which made the stay even more enjoyable. Location wise you couldn’t get any better. Very close walk to beach and right in the middle of town amongst bars, cafes and restaurants whilst still remaining very quiet at night.

Everything was perfect: location, the staff was great and very welcoming, the room was perfect. All the components to make a perfect holiday.

This place is a very cute and nice old flat with cosy rooms, a fully equiped kitchen and a super nice little terrace on the rooftop, where we had breakfast! We really liked the style of this place and the flat is very central! Because Marco, the super friendly owner of this flat, wasn't there in the morning, he provided us with a big bag full of bread, ham, cheese, milk, joghurt etc. for the breakfast! There were no other guests; so we had the full appartment on our own! We would definetly come back!

It's a nice appartment. I arrived pretty late but someone was waiting for me there and friendly showed me around . It's in the middle of the center. I really felt comfortable there.

The only things that should be precise is the room facing the street have a bar underneath which is kind of noisy. If you want to have a quiet sleep don’t go there.
