It’s a really beautiful hotel with flowers at the entrance. I would say , all meets our expectations. The room is big , clean and very organized. It’s a walking distance to the downtown. The staff at the reception is very helpful when I asked her help with the restaurant info in the town. Having Breakfast at the balcony is a great experience.
