It was fine. They oversell the "luxury" angle IMO. The large deck is nice. The upward sloped roof allows good outdoor light into the kitchen.

We loved the layout of the room. It was very comfy, with a wonderful view off the balcony. The bed was super comfortable and shower had plenty of hot water. The room design lent itself to relaxing, reading, studying maps, eating and really anything we might want to do on vacation.

Beautiful place, a little tricky to find. We were at the top of the hill. Beautiful inside , the porch was great. The only problem is that the mini split heat pump system could not warm the space. It blew warm air, just not enough. That bed was cozy and warm.
