There was only 2 of us staying so did not use the ground floor bedroom but would have thought it would be better as a single room, but the size of the room is made clear in the description. Could have done with a bread bin and no welcome pack! The views are stunning and even better than the photographs on the website. Will definitely be back.

All the planters contained dead unwatered plants , the swing seat was unmaintained & very dirty , the patio table & chairs covered with flaking paint . The securing hook for one of the front doors was missing , a problem for easy safe access when windy . Indoors , the cleaning team had done their usual excellent job , but the main duvet really does need replacing . We know & accept that phone signals are a problem in this location , but in spite of following all instructions , we simply could not get a connection to the internet , which is so important these days ( like it or not ) for information , booking etc . The housekeeper did her very best to help us , for which we are grateful , but unsuccessfully . We had to resort to asking the neighbouring apartment if we could use their internet connection . If a guest had to stay in internet touch for important family or business reasons , they would probably be much more vocal than us ! This is a lovely location , we have had many happy times here , such a shame there is now an air of neglect , particularly outside .

Only negative was the maintenance outside. The terrace and the seated area were over grown, weedy and in need of a sweep. All flower tubs and vases were full of dead plants. It would have taken a very short time to improve and it did affect how nice it was to use the outside. Although the views were lovely.
