The hotel's proximity to the town center is appreciated, with just a short walk to the main square, although some guests mention the presence of steep steps.

The apartment had a lovely kitchen area. it was very well equipped (i could easily make my morning tea). the two balconies provided great convenience. It was lovely looking down on the pool.
