Lovely quaint decor and garden. Staff was great. A little noisy at night. The eco-shower head is inefficient due to lack of water pressure and heat.

We stayed here for 4 nights at the end of November. This was our 3rd stay at this property. From our first stay til our most recent, the condition of the property has declined significantly. The grounds and rooms are showing signs of neglect. Previously, the property was well kept with an on site restaurant and bar as well as a small shop. Those no longer exist. My biggest complaint would be that we were charged $300.00 more than what we booked for on Expedia. While our stay was uneventful, the condition of the property and the suprise cost would keep us from choosing to stay here in the future.

Beautiful inn with lovely colonnaded walk, walled garden, and inviting pool. The room was a cool oasis. The bathroom was spacious and the shower was hot, with excellent water pressure. There were lots of little details that made the care special
