I had a fantastic experience here! The service was top-notch, making it easy to enjoy my spontaneous trip. The view from my room was stunning and the massage service was a perfect way to unwind after a day of exploring. However, the walk to town was a bit strenuous, particularly since it’s uphill. Overall, I found the hotel to be a cozy retreat that felt like great value for money.
