Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Small property — With only 8 rooms, the hotel may feel intimate, but availability can be limited and personal space is at a premium.
  • Short check-in window — Check-in is only from 15:00 to 19:30, which may be restrictive for travelers arriving later.
  • No pets allowed — If you're traveling with a pet, this hotel is not an option.
  • Not right in the main square — It's about a 15-minute walk to the main square, which is fine for some but a factor if you prefer to be central.
