Cosy and rustic hotel with a tiny pool. Room was large and well furnished, but had a bath, no shower. Overlooks the church and small village with a couple of restaurants nearby. Staff were friendly and helpful. Young, local, and spoke moderate English.

Otroligt fint hotell med underbar miljö, både inne & ute! Vänlig och hjälpsam personal som skapar en hemtrevlig känsla. Poolen var ljuvlig! Läget var top notch. Bra med låst cykelgarage om du hyr cyklar över flera dagar.
