I adored the building's traditional charm and the inviting steps leading up to the entrance. our room was excellent. It was super clean and quite spacious. the owners impressed me with their kindness. They were gracious hosts. i felt very welcome!
The towel sizes were a little small. This didn't detract from my stay, but it was a minor inconvenience.
