A Pleasant Boutique Hotel Stay

The studio apartment was very nicely decorated. It had a comfortable bed. The coffee machine was also good (I used it every morning). We also had nice green countryside views from our balcony.
There were no available meals on site . Tea and coffee in the room were not replenished. I also found there was no availability of clean towels . (I needed them after the beach.)
