My daughter and I had a lovely stay here. The staff were excellent and the location was perfect for us. We walked everywhere and would often just get out and wander to see what we happened upon and we always found something amazing. We throughly enjoyed the pool and sangria in the courtyard. The beds were comfortable and bathroom a great size. Would definitely stay again!
