This lovely B&B was perfectly situated near the old town but off a quiet side street. The apartment itself was more than we could have hoped for. We asked for the sofa bed to be made up and the layout of the apartment suited our needs. There was a hairdryer, toiletries and even a spare toothbrush set which came into use when the battery on my electric toothbrush ran out.

This is one of the best hotels I have ever visited. It's immaculate in every respect. If there's one thing that's better the hotel condition, decor and location then it's the people who look after you when during your stay. They are extremely professional, friendly and welcoming. We are already planning a return visit.
