It was very cramped even when we asked for 2 adults and a child. There wasn’t even a kettle in the room for a hot cup of tea. Dining was extremely expensive but no other choice. A simple breakfast could have been included given that there was not even a kettle in the room - but the management had decided to make the most of tourists

Cute guesthouse

Great location but room was small for 3 adults. Lovely property location right on the sea! Had animals like horses and sheep nearby, and had breakfast for a fee. For 3 adults i would book 2 rooms or a suite next time.

Guesthouse Gerdi was wonderful. You have the ocean on one side, mountains and mountain views on multiple sides, beautiful horses near the property. The hotel itself is cozy, clean, and comfortable. We had dinner at the on-site restaurant and the food was delicious. Magical place!

The towels are visible old with towel lint. Not to expect any normal hotel services. Very noisy when someone is walking or talking at the corridor. The kitchen food is very good. Very homemade feeling. Try the lamb.
