Convenient location and only minutes away from the city center and a few steps away from the lovely Queen's Garden. We fell in love with our charming room with a balcony that overlooks the garden and the river--a perfect place to sip the house port (that was a nice treat!)

Pluses: beautiful property, excellent location, easy walk to the city centre. The main issue we had was while staying there the hosts' data package for the Internet ran out and we and the other guests were asked about how much Internet we had used and so on. Understandably this is an issue for the hosts but it should be said... More

What a great place to stay!!! Located close to town in a very green area, just in front of the mountainrange, this lovely place offers a lot for a fair price. It looks beautiful from the outside, and when you enter you feel put back to the 19th century. It´s an old but very well maintained house, with big red... More
