“My partner and I had a fantastic stay at this charming hotel. Antonia gave us a warm welcome and provided a helpful booklet about the area. Our green room was incredibly spacious with a comfortable bed. Even though it's close to the center, the hotel was quiet and peaceful. The self check-in was hassle-free, and the lovely staff made it a wonderful experience.”
