The room had lots of space. There was a sun terrace, and that was a bonus. The location was beautiful. There was lots of privacy.

I did not see any staff apart from a cleaner very briefly. The breakfast was offered at a local cafe with a 10% discount. There were no options on site. I did not find it very cute as there was no one around.
