I've been wanting to write a review about this gorgeous hotel for a long time. I was impressed. Just amazing. The work that the owners of the hotel have done is incredible. In every detail of the interior, in every little piece, the care of the guests was noticeable. Thoughtfulness in everything. The refrigerator, flowers, fruits, slippers, jars of treats and all sorts of small things – everything indicated that the hotel owners had not just filled the room with some kind of staff, but thought over different scenarios of staying in the hotel and adjusted to them. And it is also visible and felt in literally everything that the owners are not greedy – everything is done with soul and high quality. It's impossible to describe everything – it was just everywhere. I noticed and appreciated every detail. It was very pleasant. And of course, the view from the room is just wonderful.
