Emplacement parfait tout près de la marina ou mon conjoint est arrivé d'un transatlantique! Personnel accueillant! Seul bémol, puisqu'il faut en donner un: changer le bain qui était un peu égratigner. Je recommande cet établissement!

Great value!
Great, historic location and they do a great job of preserving that vibe! However, comfort could be greatly (and inexpensively) enhanced with minimal upgrades to modernize these rooms with 21st century amenities, such as dedicated smart charge stations. Nevertheless, the staff was professional, and extremely helpful and informative. We will definitely be returning!

Comfortabel verblijf in mooi kader
Geweldige locatie - oud fort in de jachthaven van het levendige horta met een fantastisch zicht op het eiland Pico. Kleine, maar geriefelijke kamers, mooi zwembad en prima restaurants (ontbijt en diner). Over het algemeen gedienstig personeel. Zeker een aanrader.
