Unique, beautiful courtyards and massages to garden and spas. Staff was outstanding and spoke fluent English. Just a special place and a historic alternative to the major hotel chains.

This is an exceptional historic property. The colonial house architecture is authentic restoration. Windows doors floors moldings etc are beautiful. Even the hardware on the windows is original certainly not from some restoration company. The art in the rooms are originals mostly coffee related simple but attractive. The restaurant is layed out around the courtyard with the original huge windows opening out to the court with outdoor seating there as well. The restaurant furnishings avoid being homogeneous and are understatedly in tune with the architecture. Food and service are top shelf fine dining. The barman is excelent. This place is extraordinary.
