This hotel offers stunning views and a lovely bathroom but falls short on dining quality. The service is top-notch, and the location is in a beautiful setting. The facilities are excellent, making it a comfortable stay.
The hotel offers stunning views of Varrich Castle and a fantastic ambiance. The rooms are comfortable and have great views, but the dining quality could be improved. The location is perfect for exploring the beautiful coastline and major tourist attractions. The service is exceptional, with thoughtful amenities, but the dining experience falls short in terms of quality. Overall, a good value for a memorable stay with some room for enhancement.
The hotel offers a breathtaking view of Varrich Castle and provides nice touches throughout. The location is just perfect in the Tongue area, but the dining experience may not be up to par with some dishes.
I loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were beautifully designed with nice touches, and the bed was incredibly comfortable. The view from my room was absolutely fantastic. However, the dining experience was marred by very poor quality sausage. The location was in a beautiful setting and close to main tourist attractions.
The hotel offers stunning views and a very comfortable bed. The bathroom is charming, but the price could be better. The service is excellent, but room service could be more prompt. The location is in a beautiful setting but slightly isolated. The dining experience includes traditional Greek dishes but the included sausage is of poor quality.
