The breakfast was a good start to the day. i especially enjoyed the sea view from the restaurant. It added to the experience. the staff were helpful with directions and local information. they were polite and responsive to my requests.
the room i had lacked sufficient lighting. it made it difficult to read in the evenings. also, i found the walk to the town center to be quite long. it was not ideal without a car.
