What can I can about this amazing B&B. I have been a travel agent for 15 years , and now I work in a 5star hotel and I must say this place is something special. I did my normal 4 hour search to find the perfect place for an overnight (50th)getaway and I found it. Jonathan and Karen are the perfect hosts, and check-in was a breeze, they made us feel very special . We stayed in the deluxe King with a balcony. Omg, what a room and the most amazing view. We sat on the balcony sipping bubbles looking at the water.... Bliss. This is a real little find, it's a must. Do yourself a favor and go, we will be going soon for sure. Thank-you for an amazing stay.

We managed to get the last room for the weekend. From when we arrived until we left we felt that the experience was far superior than other alternatives that we’d had before. Jane, Calum and Bailey were all so welcoming and treated us like real guests. The breakfast was incredible and shouldn’t be missed. The room fee was a little more than some of the other local alternatives but far superior. Small details as decent espresso machines, quality towels and Scottish soaps made the stay feel like a retreat. Don’t miss staying here. Avoid 3rd party booking websites as there wasn’t any saving for us and support these lovely people by booking online directly. I looked for the red squirrels but couldn’t see them. I’ll bring some nuts next time. Thanks. Dave and S

Reviewed By Iain and Barbar... C

We stayed here for one night on our way to Inverness to travel the NC500, and were blown away by the quality and service provided by Mark and his team. 2 weeks later we stayed another night before travelling home, and this proved that the first visit wasn’t a fluke. The quality at this B&B is nothing short of exceptional. Everything is “just right”, from the furniture & decor to the marvellous food at breakfast & dinner. Mark makes everyone feel at home and extremely comfort from the moment you step in the door. As an ex-chef, it is clear he still has a passion for food. Breakfast is exceptional, and the dinner option during Summer months is a “must have” - why walk into Fort William, which is quite run-down, when you can have the quality of food offered by Mark. If that’s not enough, the bedrooms are a good size, with high quality furnishings and extremely comfortable large beds. We have no hesitation in recommending this accommodation, and it would be our first and only choice when visiting the area again.

Reviewed By jesshA4921LE

Alexandros is truly unique, and one of the best places I have ever stayed. I have never had such a warm welcome and amazing hospitality as I did from Litsa and her team. They are such a lovely group of people who will go out of their way to make your stay the best possible and treat you like family. Anything you need help with, they are there to offer! I was travelling solo, so it was so nice to make time to chat with the team each day before I headed out. The breakfast was also amazing - homemade pastries, cakes, fresh fruit, yogurt, pancakes etc. Lovely sea views from the spotless and beautiful rooms too, what more could you want?! Don’t stay anywhere else in the area, just stay here! Thank you to you all, I miss you already! :-)

Very comfortable room, delicious food, and excellent service-attitude among all staff make this a very pleasant stay

Reviewed By Ashlander

Loved this Inn in the charming Scottish small town. The room was very comfortable, well appointed, with amenities. But the truly exceptional thing was the service attitude among the staff. Everyone was just unusually friendly, helpful and enthusiastic. We observed that they also treated each other with this same attitude to helpfulness and positivity. We attribute this to good management, and we certainly felt we benefitted from that. I received emails advising me to book for dinner if I wanted to eat at their establishment, and I received an almost immediate response when I did so. Other emails advising of our arrival time and asking about parking were also immediately acknowledged. The food at the Inn was also delicious and the place is obviously very popular locally. We could not have been more pleased with this accommodation, which for us, was a stop between St. Andrews golf day and Inverness. We were so happy we chose to stop here and experience this brand of Scottish hospitality. Definitively one of the best we have encountered so far in Scotland.

Palazzo Del Poeta

Dimora Contemporanea Tra le mura del Palazzo del Poeta, la cui l'origine seicentesca è stata riportata alla luce dopo una lunga e sapiente ristrutturazione, emerge una dimora contemporanea. E' una residenza preziosa, in cui la storia antica si intreccia con quella moderna. L' atmosfera, mai convenzionale, sembra evocare le memorie di quella nobiltà, che abitò il palazzo, dedita all'arte, alla poesia e alla cultura. Un luogo di accoglienza discreta nel cuore dalla Palermo più antica, a pochi passi da Piazza San Domenico, il Museo archeologico Salinas e l'Oratorio di Santa Cita. Qui si celebra un vero e proprio viaggio sensoriale in cui la storia del palazzo rivive nella contemporaneità del presente. Un ambiente, intimo e allo stesso tempo aperto alla condivisione degli spazi comuni, curati da luce e dettagli preziosi.

Fantastic

Reviewed By Simon S

My wife and I spent three nights at Rosa's Palazzo Del Poeta in mid-May. Everything was perfect! The room was spacious, the bed comfortable and everything was perfectly clean. Still speechless about the breakfast... During our stay, whenever we needed something, we got help immediately. Rosa has set up a most efficient messaging system, and she and her team always responded immediately. At the end of our trip, I forgot a jacket at Palazzo Del Poeta. Rosa notified me, asked me for my address, and sent it all the way to New York, not asking for anything. In short, the place (the palazzo itself and its location) is great and the team is fantastic - will go back as soon as we can go back to Sicily! Highly recommended! Simon

Canto de Luz

Bienvenue Chez Vous - Welcome to your Home in Porto. In 2008, we discovered the ruin that stole our hearts. Some 5 years of loving restoration later, our luxury Maison, Canto De Luz opened to the public. Hiding behind the traditional facade of an elegant merchant townhouse in the centre of the Old Town is a beautiful soaring modern atrium that welcomes you, our friends and guests, to your home from home here in Porto. The homemade breakfast at Canto De Luz has become the stuff of Porto and Tripadvisor folklore! The menu, which changes daily and is wherever possible organic, uses freshly sourced local ingredients from Porto's markets, served to you at your table - It's a treat to behold. The whole team are very excited to share their passion for Porto, matched by the desire to welcome people from all over the world Chez Vous a Porto. Many of our guests have become friends who come and stay again and again. We would love you to join them. À bientôt !

Absolutely delightful stay in a central location

Reviewed By Sarah F

We loved our stay at Canto de Luz! From the first moment we arrived, we were greeted by the friendly staff, able to leave our luggage to walk around the city before check-in, and kindly offered complimentary coffees and Pastel de Nata. The room is beautiful and well-appointed and accommodated our family of 3 perfectly with the built-in bed nook for our son. The mattress was a little too firm for my preference, but we all slept well. The daily included breakfast was a highlight of our stay. The staff is so gracious and accommodating and the food is delicious. We were served daily fresh cut fruit, a rotating selection of breads and pastries from a local bakery, specialty coffees, fresh-squeezed juice, and a choice of cooked-to-order eggs, yogurt, and/or Iberian ham and cheeses. The presentation is Insta-worthy and dining areas are lovely and comfortable. The location is very convenient to walk to the historical attractions, restaurants, etc. The entire staff was exceptional and happy to give recommendations or help in any way. Also, did I mention there’s a wine dispenser?! Highly recommend!

Abbots Grange Manor House

Nestled in the lea of Broadway hill and standing in a little over eight acres of parkland grounds and gardens you will find the romantic Cotswold hideaway, Abbots Grange. Secluded, yet only 2 minutes walk from Broadway's 'picture perfect' village high street with its delightful array of independent boutique shops, restaurants and inns. This magical, award winning monastic manor has all the comforts you would expect from an AA five gold star 'highly commended' guest house. Bedrooms are equipped to a high standard with four poster beds, flat screen TVs and seating areas. Beds in all rooms and suites are dressed with the finest Egyptian cotton sheets to ensure a blissful nights sleep. Thick, fluffy white towels, bath robes and complimentary toiletries complete the en-suite bathrooms. The oldest dwelling in Broadway, Abbots Grange was built in about 1320 as the summer manor for the Abbot of Pershore. There are over 700 years of history to absorb here, perhaps while you unwind in front of the roaring log fire over afternoon tea... or by candlelight after dinner? Breakfast at Abbots Grange is a celebration of all things local. Served in the panelled dining room at the round table, you will find a mouth watering selection of fresh berries and seasonal fruits. Local sausages and smoked bacon together with Cotswold free range eggs. We offer a delicious vegetarian full English breakfast alternative, artisan baked breads and pastries from our own bakery - Huffkins - together with freshly brewed 100% Arabica coffees and loose leaf teas.

Just fabulous !

How lucky were we to get to stay here… my partner had mentioned re staying a few times and I thought, I’ll just check and there it was, 1 room available for a mid week stay - rang and spoke with Stacey and room Millett was quickly booked. We arrive to a warm welcome by Stacey and a glass of bubbles - totally unexpected.. we were given a show of the property, it is just lovely, tons of history and felt immediately relaxed.. the room was beautiful, big bath, four poster and a view of the gardens - so very nice! Champagne was in a bucket on ice as requested which just set the scene for a lovely stay.. After dinner out in the beautiful village, we returned and enjoyed a drink from the honesty bar in the sitting room in front of a log fire - loved it.. Breakfast next day was fantastic, plenty of choice and delicious- we forgot to fill out the breakfast card the night before, and remembered at 05.30 in the morning! Not a problem.. staff were super friendly and a delight. Stacey was fantastic throughout and made this all possible so a huge thanks for all your help. We will definitely be returning and hope to be back soon!!
