    We had a wonderful stay! The room was spacious and excellent value, but the real highlight was the incredibly accommodating staff. They kindly allowed us both an early check-in and a late check-out, which made our trip so much easier.

So, there is the option of having one whole terrace containing 4 spacious studios, two terraces containing 8 studios or the whole house with 10 studios. All the studios feature a kitchenette with microwave, fridge, electric kettle, toaster, tea/coffee making facilities, etc.; a private bathroom including free toiletries; pillowtop beds with comforts like premium bedding and down comforters; flat-screen TV with digital channels.
