despite the room not being ready on time, and the shower getting cold quickly. we’d come back!

“It was quiet and residential. it felt homey. loved being steps away from the beach.”
Worth knowing: room wasn’t ready until 5pm. the shower became cold too quickly, no AC (but the fans worked just fine).
It was almost to perfect. I would definitely recommend to stay here. Definitely coming back

“I liked how it has it’s own access to the beach”
Worth knowing: The rooms had a weird smell. It wasn’t that bad but i did wish it had a better smell
Peaceful and safe spot. A few seconds away from the beach.

“Beautiful spot and over all super clean and kind staff!”
Tutto sommato bello, ma magari meglio portarsi la colazione da casa e prepararsela in camera.

“Ambiente carino molto vacanziero, vicino alla spiaggia, molto ben attrezzato (apprezzato davvero la cucina che dispone persino di un vero forno), con spazi esterni per sedersi comodissimi.”
Worth knowing: La colazione, per il prezzo della struttura, è piuttosto misera. Il fatto di non avere uno spazio colazione ma di doversi portare il cibo e le bevande in giro per l‘albergo in ricerca di un posto dove mangiare o in camera propria è sconveniente e scomodo. Inoltre si dovrebbe stare attenti che anche alle 9 ci sia tutto e che non bisogna chiedere per ogni piccola cosa (caffe, tè, succo, pane….tazze,piatti…).
