Reviews
Unique experience and good place. Staff are very accommodating. Superb breakfast!!! You need to walk a few meters of cobblestone as taxi doesn’t go near the property but it is part of the experience i think. Translator app is a good help for us to communicate with the staff. Once we used the app everything was easy.
