My host Jen and her husband were so helpful and friendly. They really made my stay enjoyable. My continental breakfast was amazing and bought my room the night before.

An absolutely beautiful old villa, immaculately updated. Beautifully kept garden. Great parking areas. The owner/manager was extremely polite and helpful. I think we were upgraded to a larger room, if we weren't the cost for a room in such a beautiful manor was very reasonable.
