Compass House

A gem that manages to combine the standards of a boutique five-star hotel with the kind of relaxed intimacy and personal service of a well-staffed private house. Mesmerising views and an atmosphere worth forfeiting the day’s sightseeing. Because why go looking, when everything you want is right here.
