The hotel is charming and offers a very "home away from home" feel but all the staff are the real stars. Each and everyone are just naturally good natured and accommodating. Lydia always greeted me with a smile and made sure I had everything I needed. The bar and restaurant are not only convenient but also a very beautiful spot to enjoy your most wonderful, top notch meals!
