Cleanliness, location, coffee machine in the room, comfy bed. They even provided a heater as we like the room temperature to be warmer than usual. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Special thanks to Hussein who was very helpful with the luggage and even got us a taxi.

    The room was so nice, they brought extra toiletries to the room that we forgot, and brought robes and straighteners!! The pool was lovely and the gym had a lot of good machines. Also had a sauna, steam room and hot tub! The hotel bar was really nice, the design of it was really cool and the drinks weren’t too expensive. The staff were all really lovely as well.

    Ennios boutique hotel and restaurant were both exceptional. Every member of staff was friendly, the room and bathroom were very well finished and stylishly decorated. The shower was amazing. The bathroom products were from The White Company and L’Occitane - very nice! The service at the restaurant where we had dinner was great. The wine (Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc) was delicious and the food out of this world. My partner had the Tortelloni Tartufo and I don’t know that I’ve ever tasted anything so good.
