Amazing place, amazing people.

This hotel has a fantastic location, perfectly situated near the old city without being disturbed by the tourist hustle and bustle. The breakfast was a highlight, offering a delicious variety of hot and cold options, including fresh juice, breads, jams, and jamon. Our room was surprisingly spacious and comfortable, and the hotel's stone and wood architecture is truly beautiful. What really makes this place special, though, is the staff. They are some of the most friendly and helpful people you'll ever meet, and they made our stay truly memorable. Thank you for everything!
