All pretty good. Liked the staff, atmosphere, people. As a single person cost in a double room a bit high, but will contact you direct next time. It would also be nice and in character to have muesli rather than cornflakes/weeties for breakfast.

+ I loved the rustic home feel, amazing building features, the balcony, other guests & my comfy bed. I loved the huge dining table, kitchen & lounges for comfort.

+ Kaikkien kasvien keskellä paikka on kuin ihan omassa maailmassaan. Talo on tunnelmallinen; korkeat huoneet, omaperäinen sisustus, parveke ja paljon kasveja ympärillä sekä mukavat yhteiset tilat. Jokaisella on oma sänky, ei kerrossänkyjä.

Very strange experience here, if you like old fashioned, old smells, and things not being cleaned. We had an older man routing through the rubbish bins and shouting at staff which made us feel very uncomfortable and unsafe

Such a wonderful place! In this charming old Villa you feel like you are gone back to the last century. The antique furniture adds a lots of charm and the modern amenities perfectly suits the needs of the backpackers. Very friendly staff, thank you! I will come back.

Es ist schon etwas besonders, aber trotzdem cool. Es gibt auch genug Orte an denen man sich aufhalten kann. Außerdem gibt es Frühstück
