Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Very small property – only 7 rooms — Intimate scale can be charming, but it may not suit travellers expecting a full-service hotel with multiple facilities.
- Check-in only from 14:00 to 21:00 — If you arrive outside this window, you may need to coordinate with the staff, as there is no 24-hour front desk indicated.
- No parking mentioned — Guests arriving by car may need to find street parking, which can be challenging in the hills of Santa Teresa.
