A unique experience in a traditional guesthouse. Good host. There are lots of stairs around the property which adds to the charm in a very unique location. A level of fitness is required and don't take too much luggage!

We hired the family room that sleeps 5. Good bathroom and comfortable living area. The kids loved living within the walls of the Castro which was an amazing experience. The views are breathtaking. The staff were super friendly and accommodating and looked after us well. Highly recommend.

It was very quiet and I had an end room with a balcony overlooking the island. Friendly staff with nice buffet breakfast. Good cheap restaurants close by.
Much easier than dragging bags to the hotels in the old town.

Fantastic property, fast internet, good renovated room with kitchen amenities, onsite parking, good heating/cooling, some rooms with sea view, fantastic check-in staff, as well as other staff, just that as there is no lift, minimal big luggage is recommended.
