Delicious Tapas

Cozy and Charming Rooms

“The room I stayed in was a good small double room, featuring a comfortable bed and a lovely touch with a complimentary sleep kit. It was cozy, charming, and spotlessly clean, making it the perfect retreat after a day of exploring. Plus, the added detail of having a carafe of water beside the bed was great!” view full review
