Exceptional service
The stay was exactly what wexneeded but the experience was made soecial by the kindness and help of the owners when our car broke down. Not only did they get our car fixed, but they also gave me a lift to my hospital appointment - without my asking.

I'd choose somewhere else...
Place did not match description. WiFi was poor, bed very uncomfortable. No room darkening shades, lots of mosquitos because no screens.

Excellent location and very clean hotel
My daughter and I, enjoyed this hotel very much. It is just a few minutes walk from train station. We were served very nice breakfast by the owner of the hotel everyday and our room was cleaned daily. There are very good resturants nearby. We recommend this hotel to the tourists who would like to explore Grotte Castellana.

A somewhat odd refuge
The hotel, or B and B, seems somewhat under-attended. We did arrive early, and no one was on site. On the credit side, following a telephone call, staff arived and we were able to check-in early, conversing in French. The person at check-in was amiable. The rooms were tidy, but dank-smelling and no natural light, because of no windows. Security questionable. One of our party had a stranger enter her locked room. Apparantly he was another confused guest. The breakfast was very good. But the breakfast room was cold, and each of our two mornings, it opened late, 20 minutes or so. Generally, staff were not on site most of the time. i have the impression of a part-time and non-professional operation.

6/10 Okay

Room for improvement
Arrived to check in around 3pm and no one was there. Had to wait outside the gates for about 30 minutes before someone showed up. The room itself was pretty big- stayed in the Marilyn room which accommodates 6+ people. The queen bed was so uncomfortable we moved the 2 twin mattresses on top of the bed to make it better. The bathroom is not as described and the shower leaked water all over the floor...no extra towels to clean up the excess water. This place has potential but needs some work. Not close by restaurants or shops so a car is necessary.

I was expecting a "pay for what you get" hotel when I booked online, but was pleasantly surprised at the hotels high qualtity when I arrived. It's a very small hotel. Maybe 6-8 rooms. We were the properties only guests. Still, they catered to us very well and even set the table every morning for us for breakfast. Staff was very informative about local things to do and provided discounts. The property is very secure, with secure partking within a walled compound. There is even a friendly yet intimidating guard dog. The room felt fresh and brand new. The building and property is well manicured. It's a 5 minute walk to the cave and a plethora of restaurants, or a 15 minute drive to the beach. Highly recommended!
