BreakfastAtmosphere
Fantastic breakfast spot! I had the shakshuka and the Egg Royal toast, and both were absolutely delicious. Everything was incredibly fresh, full of flavor, and cooked to perfection. Every bite was a pleasure—simply outstanding! Great atmosphere, friendly service, and an overall wonderful experience. I highly recommend this place and will definitely be back!
stayed in the bed&breakfast for three nights. rooms were nice and cosy but still had enough space for two persons with large suitcases. everything was super clean. the breakfast in the cafe was awesome!!
