Room was very nice and appeared clean. There was an odor (from cleaning agent ?) that took a day or so to minimize. It was a beautiful but unusually warm day when I arrived. I turned on the ceiling fan that night …it is time to replace it! Otherwise, great location and a good stay.

The room and areas in the Inn we visited were all very clean. The outside was magnificently kept with beautiful flowers, shrubs and gazebo? We had a balcony that overlooked the beautiful area and you could see and walk to the sea ⛵ and beach. It was in walking distance of shops, dining, wine tasting, drinking, Grocery store and more. The room has a fireplace You do not need air conditioner because of the cool temperatures. It is a great place to just take in the scenery!!

The room was clean. Much more spacious than the images online. There was a good size table with two chairs, two nightstands, each with two outlets attached to the lamp. Fluffy pillows, tall comfy bed, fireplace which we used, and clean bathroom. Walls are a bit thin as we could hear the bath shower sounds of the next room which are behind the wall where our bed is located.
