Exceptional rework of historic fortress. Arched ceiling and sitting couch on enclosed balcony overlooking the sea is a totally unique feature. If you want elegance and quiet solitude this is the place!

There were some issues, but the staff worked diligently to remedy them. So, while there were aspects of the stay that were below expectations, the diligence of the hotel in addressing them goes a long way. For that, the hotel wins my kudos and turned something negative into a positive!

The customer service at this place is top notch! It’s very clean and the main areas that you can sit and have a drink or visit is beautiful! This place isn’t walking distance from the town but it’s a quick taxi ride. I highly recommend this place.
