Charming Stay!

Maria gave a very professional and friendly welcome. Chris was also helpful when I departed. They are both assets to this fabulous place. The air conditioning was welcome after a hot day! Wandering the hills and streets was enjoyable, the staff always happy and ready to help. The location is central to the activities I wanted.
Breakfast was not very generous. Viennoiseries and juice were limited. The person at breakfast wasn't very smiley, though the one at arrival was formidable.
