    This is a warm, cosy and very welcoming boutique hotel. The decor (Art Deco Style) in the main areas is just gorgeous! 😍 Our bedroom was also beautifully decorated. A luxurious bathroom with a fabulous shower. Breakfast was delicious and the service is fantastic. Everything is brought to your table so you can totally relax and enjoy the experience. We also dined in the bar and again, tasty food and the staff cannot do enough for their guests! A 4 star hotel with 5 star service. ❤️💕
