Generally a good s

The room was quite comfortable and the staff were all welcoming and lovely. Two issues: the pool was not very clean (perhaps this was a fluke, but it was full of leaves and even some hair) and the breakfast was fine but felt overpriced at 34 euros each. Can’t beat the location or the quiet, though!
