This property was fantastic for the price. It was super clean and the staff was fantastic. Super close to train station for daily excursions. My daughter was in the hostel next door with her study abroad program. This could not have been better. Such a beautiful place and within walking distance to town. Loved it!!

This place was perfect for ours. Free parking. Cute (but small room). Close to funicular for getting to water. Could easily walk too. And the pool (with pool bar) was a treat after a day of walking around in the heat. Very happy. Not the cheapest though.
