I found a couple things a bit off. The television remote in my room was missing a battery cover. The flickering light in the bathroom mirror needed fixing too.

I appreciated the views from the location, it was quiet and overlooked the hills and garden. The owner was a lovely lady. The bar and restaurant were very nice and the staff served efficiently.
