Rooms & rate
What you're paying for
A handful of individually designed suites, each layered with vintage furniture, botanical prints and antiques; expect boutique intimacy rather than spa, pool or restaurant facilities. Book well ahead given how few rooms there are.
Why we say this
Insider secrets & local vibes
A genuinely distinctive, design-led small hotel with warm personal service — a refreshing antidote to chain luxury.
Not independently verified — estimated
With only a handful of suites and no big-hotel facilities (no spa, no restaurant), it won't suit travellers who want full resort amenities.
