What a lovely place. It was a pity we stayed there only one night as we would like to enjoy it a bit more. Really nice room very well equipped and with all details. We had three, one was huge and the other two right size. Delicious breakfast. Magda was super friendly and helping us with everything. Marvelous garden and pool. Easy access to a very close beach. Based on a very nice neighborhood. We have to come back.

I really liked how clean and well-maintained everything was — from the rooms to the shared areas. The atmosphere was peaceful and relaxing, perfect for a getaway. The staff were warm and welcoming, and it felt more personal than a hotel. I also appreciated the little touches like fresh towels, fast Wi-Fi, and a cozy breakfast spot. Overall, it was comfortable, quiet, and felt like home.
