Wonderful

Beautiful room with stunning water views from our private verandah. The spa bath was a lovely treat too! Classic and tasteful decor throughout tue hotel gave a sense of nostalgia and opulent luxury. A very easy stroll to all of the village amenities. We only wished we had booked more than one nights accommodation.
Our second stay at this wonderful Hotel with a gap of 6 years, but everything was perfect as it was in 2017. The building and its situation is almost fairytale. I hope we can return again in the future.
