Thank you!" - "Lovely boutique hotel in a central but quiet location. Rooms are individually designed so you feel like in a family run place. Unfortunately the rooms are a bit small but that seems to be normal, because of the small fisherman’s houses in those narrow streets of the historic old town. Car parking is outside the old town, but the hotel offers it’s own parking places and a complimentary shuttle service from/to hotel with a golf caddy. Service is very careful, especially thanks to Ana, who was a very helpful and lovely person. I highly recommend this place."
