9.2/10 Wonderful! (22 reviews)

Lovely hotel, felt very clean and breakfast was good as well. The only issue we had was that someone at the reception gave new guests keys to our room, so we woke up in the middle of the night because someone entered the room. That wasn't great

Each tile is an individual fit into the space that it occupies. This must be a huge challenge when modern day artisans replace them, using the techniques that are centuries old. That in itself makes this place incredible. #Details
