Why guests love itFive friends on a shared holiday booked Gerthrudes because the shared kitchen and BBQ let them cook together most nights. Afternoons went to the outdoor pool; evenings started on the panoramic rooftop terrace, watching the view over the surrounding area fade while someone tended the grill. The hillside B&B felt homely, with air-conditioned rooms for the hot nights. The slope makes walking to the main landmarks less convenient, so plan rides for sightseeing days.
