“The location places you within a stroll of both the beach and the main street, a balance hard to beat. What struck me most was the storybook quality of the grounds, full of greenery and the sound of water. The fresh pastries and coffee each morning felt like an embrace, setting a tone of quiet indulgence that's just right.”
