What guests say about the pool
In their own words
The pool is also extremely small — more of a wading pool than somewhere you could properly swim. A shame as my husband likes to swim.
Depending on time of year, you can take advantage of a seasonal heated infinity pool overlooking the bay, a rooftop terrace, and a courtyard restaurant.
Why do I feel it is not a four star hotel? It only has eight rooms and there is no restaurant or bar or swimming pool/spa and abysmal wifi - but it does have the most amazing views and the junior suite (room 1) I stayed in was fabulous apart from terrible sound proofing (lack of it).
