Location
Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers a stunning sea view from the large rooms but falls short on cleanliness with old carpets and worn-out parquets. The service is friendly but not always proactive, and there is some noise disturbance during maintenance. The location provides a peaceful retreat with breathtaking views, although it requires a walk to the town center. The dining experience varies from disappointing to delightful, depending on the meal choices. Overall, the hotel has some charm but lacks consistency in quality.
My stay at the hotel was everything I had expected and more. The rooms were lovely, spacious, and offered amazing sea views, perfect for our family of four. However, some areas like the old dirty carpets and consumed parquets could use a refresh. The centralized heating system was a minor inconvenience.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location was breathtaking with views of the sea, but the rooms were dark, small, and lacked proper amenities. The service was friendly and helpful, yet a bit inconsistent. The dining options were diverse but not up to a 5-star standard.
My stay at the hotel was pleasant overall. The rooms were cozy and at a nice temperature, though a bit small. The service was satisfactory but lacked helpfulness in planning activities. The location was convenient for us, despite a slight uphill walk into town. The dining experience was delightful with a rich selection of local specialties. The facilities could be improved, particularly the lack of W/C on certain levels.
I loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were nice and spacious with a balcony, comfortable bed, and well-appointed bathrooms. However, accessing the weak shower in the high bath without prior notice was a bit tricky. The service was exceptional, with staff who were helpful and pleasant, though slightly interruptive at times. The location was brilliant, offering easy access to the town center but maintaining a quiet and private ambiance. The dining experience was great with a wide variety of choices, but the presence of wasps was a downside. The facilities were top-notch, making my stay even more enjoyable.
The hotel provided spacious rooms with great amenities, but the shower could be improved. The staff was highly accommodating and friendly, offering excellent service. The location was peaceful with a stunning view, although some areas were shaded. The dining experience was uninspiring. Overall, a highly recommended hotel.
