10/10 Exceptional

Perfect stay

We loved the location, breakfast, and character of this hotel. Bicycles are available for use, and in contrast to the note in the hotel description, there is no problem parking your car. Public transportation takes you to all the wonderful places around for hiking and sightseeing. A few great restaurants are close by but in general, it is a tranquil and magical place to spend a couple days at.
Kirsten, 2-night trip

This was an absolutely beautiful place with a gorgeous location. The staff could not have been more helpful or friendly. It is close enough to different places to go and see that taking an uber was affordable and easy. Cannot reccomend this place enough.

10/10 Exceptional

Stunning view and absolutely beautiful property. It’s so clean and great condition, you feel like royalty. The view from inside the room is so eloquently designed. The breakfast is crafted for everyone, delicate pastries with all types of fruit and cheese. The beach is just a walk. There is a hill down to the beach so if you cannot walk easily, may need to drive a bit for better access. The location isn’t crowded at all so it never felt busy even with more guests. The marina is a 10 min drive away
