Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers stunning views of the gardens, mountains, and sea from the tiny rooms, some equipped with a terrace for soaking up the morning sunshine. The service from the attentive and professional staff truly stands out. The location, although challenging to access, is incredible and sets the stage for a memorable stay. Dining options with wonderful food and attentive service create a heavenly experience that is hard to forget.
The hotel rooms were small, nothing like shown on the website, with uncomfortable double beds but had a good size and a balcony overlooking the coastline. The service was friendly and accommodating, presenting a high level of culture and knowledge. The location didn't provide easy access, but it offered peace and tranquility with spectacular gardens. The dining experience offered fantastic views and very attentive service. Overall, a mixed experience with some positives and challenges.
The hotel truly shines with its breathtaking views of gardens, mountains, and the sea from every angle, complemented by exquisite Fresco paintings and elegant antique furniture in the rooms. However, the uncomfortable double bed setup with tiny spacing was a downside.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of charm and discomfort. The small room on the third floor had an outdated feel, maintaining its old charms but lacking in comfort with a double bed made of two mattresses that were extremely uncomfortable. The room felt cramped and dark, and the view from the balcony was obstructed by a wall right in front of us, leaving much to be desired.
I was absolutely blown away by the breathtaking views of the sea and spectacular grounds surrounding the hotel. The rooms were not only spacious, superbly clean, and beautifully decorated, but also boasted incredible views of the gardens, mountains, and sea from every angle. However, the ten-pound safe not being securely attached in the armoire was a slight concern.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel, surrounded by stunning water views of gardens, mountains, and the sea wherever I looked. The rooms, while not modern, were very comfortable, clean, and well stocked. The service was top-notch, with delicious dining options and incredibly friendly and helpful staff. The location was truly amazing, with historical significance and spectacular gardens to explore. However, access difficulty was a downer, especially with an elderly family member. The dining experience was fantastic, with spectacular views and attentive service, but more clarity on access would have been appreciated.
