Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The Aestas B&B is located close to town and the Waterfront. We enjoyed our spacious room, which included small kitchen area (sink, dishes, utensils, microwave, refrigerator/freezer); couch; chairs; large king bed and nice bathroom. The breakfast was absolutely delightful, especially the scrumptious omelette and large fresh cut fruit cup. The rooms had patios that overlooked the town as well as the yard with refreshing pool. Most of all, the host Rudy is delightful and very helpful with recommendations, maps and phamplets. Thumbs us to Aestas B&B and Rudy for a wonderful guesthouse at a reasonable price. Thank you!

Excelente custo benefício
Ficamos hospedados apenas uma noite, mas nossa impressão foi super positiva. Fizemos o check in após o horário, devido a um atraso na estrada, e o Gus (quem nos recebeu) foi muito prestativo e atencioso. Quarto limpo e confortável. Excelente localização. Café da manhã muito bom!
