Wonderful property, well located, and memorable caring service. Anna was an outstanding host, cares and serves us every day with local fresh pastries, fruits, salumeria, assorted juices and marmalades. Grazing table all day. Room was wonderful. Lots of free and safe parking in the area. I highly recommend it.

Fabulous B&B. Anna the host is friendly and welcoming and speaks excellent English. Perfect location just across the bridge to Ortiga. Lovely rooms, excellent breakfast. Mini fridge with free bottled water was provided in the room and communal area where you could help yourself to snacks, tea and coffee. Anna provided info on Ortiga and restaurant recommendations which were great. Only 3 rooms, if you see them available snap them up. Very good value. Lovely spot for gelato, granita, coffee and snacks just opposite.

Bra läge, hjälpsam värdinna.
Värdinnan var mycket engagerad, och det märktes att varje detalj valts med omsorg. Från små rosetter runt handdukarna till utbudet vid frukost.
Läget är perfekt för att promenera in till gama stan. Har man tur finns det gratis parkering i närheten. Värdinnan är väldigt noga med att kommunicera vart det går att parkera.
BnBt är i en gammal byggnad, en våning upp utan hiss.
ACn funkade fint, badrummet var rymmligt. Extra sängen var hård i dubbelrumet, så jag recommendrar att använda rummet om ni är två, eller boka fler rum om ni är fler. Kan dock inte svara på hur det är i de andra rumnen.
