Opt for a Room with a View

Several guests highly recommend choosing a room with a balcony facing the fountain for spectacular views.

Consider Transportation

While the location offers beautiful views, it's important to note that the hill leading to the accommodation is very steep, making it less suitable for those without a car and with limited mobility.

Check for Noise

Some guests mentioned that noise from the town traveled upward, particularly on Friday nights, so light sleepers may want to take this into consideration.

Be Mindful of Stairs

The property is on three levels, and some guests found the 52 stairs to their room challenging, especially for those with limited mobility.

Enjoy the Breakfast

The breakfast is highly praised by many guests for being delicious, healthy, and offering a variety of options.

Appreciate the Hospitality

Consider Room Selection

Some guests noted poor lighting in certain rooms, so it may be beneficial to inquire about room specifics before booking.

Take Advantage of the Location

The guesthouse's central location close to attractions and the peaceful, tucked-away setting with a sense of safety and security is a major plus for many guests.

Be Aware of Noise Levels

Some guests experienced noise disturbances due to poor soundproofing, so it's advisable to inquire about quieter room options if noise sensitivity is a concern.
