Beautiful hotel with a mix of historic charm and modern luxury. Staff were welcoming, breakfast was excellent, and the rooftop bar had stunning views. A little outside the old town but taxis are affordable and easy. Perfect for a relaxing, stylish stay.

Well worth a visit!

After a slightly shaky start (loud music until late on the first night) this stay was just wonderful. The hotel is beautifully maintained, fantastic pool area and great options for drinks and food. The staff right across the hotel are amazing. Location is a little out of the way for old town but taxis are easy to hail. Overall a great experience and will return!
