This hotel is located in a remote stunningly beautiful location. The staff we met named Angelo and Ria were charming friendly and efficient. We enjoyed Breakfast and Dinner, the food was nicely presented and very tasty. Our bedroom and bathroom were pleasant, bed comfortable, but in my opinion could benefit from some updating. Someone suggested to me that the hotel reminded them of being straight out of an Agatha Christie novel -I must say it struck a chord with me! Recommended.

Gregory

Room clean, pretty basic, bathroom very poorly designed with nowhere to store washbag. No extractor fan so completely steamed up after showering. Entry door to room had faulty lock which could easily have left you locked out of room. Can't belive management hadn't noticed it. Dangerous rug right in front of open fire in the bar lounge with curled up edges, real trip hazard. Food pretty good. Hotel itself is totally isolated, although we did know that before booking.
