“An amazing stay – the best parts were the sea view, the room's spaciousness, the clean bathroom, and the A/C's quiet mode for nighttime. Staff, especially Eliana and Lucie, were excellent. The location is convenient with a supermarket, beach, and restaurants nearby, and just a 5-minute walk to the city center.”
