I found the breakfast offered amazing choices. The food included fruit yogurt and hot breakfast items. eggs cooked to order, such a treat. The room was spacious with a courtyard pool view and housekeeping maintained high standards daily
the terrace was not well-kept. The sunbeds and floor had mud and leaves, a minor distraction. The terrace restrooms lacked paper towels, creating a slight inconvenience

Charming Stay, Amazing Value!

fresh decorfriendly staffgreat food choiceconvenient location
I was very charmed by the newly decorated rooms. They were AMAZING! The breakfast was very good, with a great choice of food. Eggs were freshly cooked to order. I especially appreciated the hotel staff. They were all friendly and very helpful. The location is super, right in the middle of the charming pueblo. I had great dining experiences nearby.
The only minor issue I had was with the road reconstruction outside, but it's not the hotel's fault, and I know it will be improved soon.
