the staff were so friendly and welcoming and the breakfast the next day was amazing.
CanadaQuiet room, exceptional view, friendly staff, and free parking near the property. Take the room on the upper floor - you won't regret it. Also, room number 10 has the best view from a bathroom in the world :)
UkraineWonderful location; it has a nice a clean pool and and for a small price (10 euros) you can book the sauna. The breakfast was very good.
RomaniaWe really enjoyed the beautiful, rural location of this hotel, steeps hills and all! It was peaceful and charming overall, and the room was very relaxing with everything done perfectly. The staff were kind and personable, the pool was lovely and I had it all to myself when I went swimming. The bed was very comfortable with good pillow options. The local herb garden was another perfect touch to a charming overall experience.

AustriaThis place is paradise. Beautiful house surrounded with mountains and with amazing view. you can enjoy your morning coffee on your own little balcony or spacious terrace right next to building. For breakfast they serve also fruits from garden- so delicious! At check-out they gave me little souvenir, post card with discount for the next stay and their local tea :) Thank you! Its better if you travel by car, it is 7 min drive to Sao Vicente beach, 25 min drive o South of Madeira.
LatviaNature, atmosphere, comfy and cosy. Friendly staff and all the people around. We felt welcomed and treated as individuals unlike in big hotels where you are yet another guest. We enjoyed spectacular views from the balcony and being surrounded by the nature. Local produce at breakfast were great. Free water, tea and good coffee available 24/7. Perfect price to value ratio.
PolandThe place is very well menaged. Location is really nice between the mountains. Breakfast was excellent. nice also the free tea.
