We were provided a home like atmosphere. The staff were laser focus on providing guests the very best experience. We often heard, “we’re here for you”. They certainly live up to that statement, specifically, Claudia, Barbara, and Patricia. The breakfast ingredients were fresh every day. They went out of their way to accommodate my lactose free needs.

I loved the hotel. It was beautiful in a very romantic setting. The facilities were first class and the breakfast was gorgeous. The staff were the friendliest and most helpful staff I have ever encountered, going out of the way to help with my car hire. I will definitely use and recommend this hotel again

Trendy Country Home
We had a lovely stay in this historic home which the owners had remodeled to make it suitable for guests. While the rooms in the new wing were delightful,We liked the historic part of the house the best. The pool was lovely and the staff was most helpful, informative, kind and thoughtful. Breakfast was great, too!. We had a great meal at a tapas bar in the historic town center. We loved watching festival fireworks from our room windows.
