10/10 Exceptional! (74 reviews)

Beautiful thoughtful renovation of a very old building. For design and architecture fans. From the linens to the woodwork every detail done with finesse. Sweetest staff and fresh breakfast buffet on a comfortable little terrace among the rooftops.. Hotel is in a pedestrian part of the old town, in a quiet alley off a narrow street that comes alive at night with outdoor dining. Quiet but very central. Loved this place.

Staff accommodated my need to stay an additional night and let me stay in the same sea view room. Also, the hotel is two blocks from the beach. Very convenient for a swim.
