Loved the history and decor of the hotel. The only recommemdation I have is it lacked storage space in the bathroom of room 8. For 4 adults with toiletries one shelf is not enough the bathroom was a nice size maybe adding more shelving or a small cabinet.would be helpful. One of my favorite stays!

This property has character! Not one of your generic type place. Location was excellent for visiting all historic places. Place was clean although old style. I felt safe walking around (after getting advice on areas) by myself as a single woman. The free breakfast was like B B, very homely. Views from terrace are great. Only complaint is that water could be hotter in bathroom sink and shower. It was doable but would have preferred hotter.

Our stay here was amazing. Right in the center of old town, very unique place with hand painted decor everywhere, exceptionally good service, good breakfast and very good prompt support with arranging ride to the airport/back. We would definitely stay here again.

Graeme

The hotel is well located in the old city. Despite a language barrier at times the staff were helpful and responsive. I ordered a taxi from the airport with the hotel but it did not come, not that it was a problem as plenty of taxis were available. The breakfast was very good. Room 9 has a window above the door and light streamed in whenever the sensor lights outside came on. This impacted on sleep quality. On balance we would stay there again.

Old colonial style building, the room and bathroom were very spacious. Good breakfast with fresh produce (fruit, juice, bread, etc). Staff were extremely friendly, also helped us with local excursions. Great location in historic centre, within 10 min walk from Placa Grande. Excellent value for money.

Very antique hotel, nice homey touches throughout. Very helpful people. Our main grove was the loud music until 3:30-4 am from the la Ronda restaurants and music. Had to sleep in with my AirPods in. Otherwise is a nice location if someone want to stay in old town.

We had a great 2-night stay in this beautiful property and we would totally recommend it. It was quiet and clean inside the casa. Staff was very friendly. We felt safe. Outside walking distance were supermarkets and restaurants. It was also a pleasant walk to the old town. We had a tiny problem with our airport pickup, but the staff responded immediately on WhatsApp and fixed it within minutes. Free drinking water dispenser was a plus. Suggestion: simple lunch menu and drinks on the rooftop would be great

It was not the safest area so that made finding a restaurant. The property was stunning and the bed was the most comfortable. Staff was helpful and available. Get the Uber ap to get around.

Amazing hotel
I really enjoyed my stay here for over a week. Andre, who was really helpful helped me with local information and arranging me to pay by credit card regarding a couple of day tours. shervanna (if I've spelt her name correctly) was also very helpful. The hotel is amazing with historic items everywhere. It was very homely with a great atmosphere.
