Great beds and decent size of room. Our room had a mini bar sized fridge and a decent sized walk in shower. A/C fantastic. Breakfast staff excellent - egg station, toast, some hot items, fruit, and cheeses & meats - starts at 6am daily. They opened 5 min early for us the day we went to Isabella for a day tour so we wouldn’t miss our breakfast. Easy to stay in touch with front desk with WhatsApp. Location good close to the big grocery store & short walk to all restaurants in town. Would stay again.

Wonderful, caring & gracious hosts and staff❣️ Our room was perfect and we appreciated the welcome snacks, fresh towels and pitcher of water daily. We took full advantage of the pool and hot tub to cool off and relax. Daily breakfast was excellent with plenty of choices including fresh juice and good coffee. Also the office always has fresh coffee, tea and water available. In addition the property has water stations to refill your water bottles which is so appreciated! The location of Hotel Ninfa is superb. We were able to walk to sights, restaurants, pubs, ferry etc. A special treat was the lovely night office host, Joe, who went out of his way to make everyone feel welcome and has an excellent memory for names. Do yourselves a favor and stay at Hotel Ninfa!
