What a lovely place! The view was spectacular and having a nice balcony area to enjoy the sunset with some wine and cheese was the perfect end to the day. Checkin was a breeze - the key is left for you in the office with directions to your room - and the layout of our two-story space was perfect for our situation. I would definitely stay here again if ever in the area.

Friendly host. The property would have been gorgeous in its day but it is more than tired. We were delighted to check in early. You definitely need a vehicle to get back into town.
