Small boutique hotel, beautiful rooms, outstanding staff and service. The property is in an incredible location with food, drink, views within a 3 minute walk. It is small, with a lovely roof deck and small pool/hot tub area. Exercise facilities are separate and a few miles away. Breakfast and drinks are available, and as much Nespresso as you can drink for the room. There are many, many restaurants and cafes of all kinds close by. Say hi to Roman and Misha for us!
