A beautiful traditional old house which felt like a lovely home. Cosy and well furnished, felt a special place to stay. The manager recommended a lovely restaurant a short walk away and a pleasant evening. I had a virtual meeting later on in the evening with the UK and the wifi worked perfectly. The manager could not have been more responsive and attentive. Thank you

The apartment was stunning. Modern, spacious, spotless, and I felt at home immediately .
