“Location is a double-edged sword for this property; situated right on the main square, the views are stunning, but the noise from the street can be intrusive. Some rooms are quiet and comfortable, while others facing the street suffer from considerable noise. Breakfast is offered at a selection of nearby restaurants, which adds local flavor.”
Olivia SmithEditor-in-Chief at Cheaphotels
