In brief

What works, what to weigh

  • Private parking on site — A rear parking space removes the usual hassle of parking in a historic city, with several guests noting they didn't need to move the car until check-out.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Limited to one bedroom layout — The villa is a one-bedroom house (two single beds), so it suits couples or small groups rather than large families, despite having cots available.
  • Strict check-in window — Check-in is only between 15:00 and 22:00, which requires planning if arriving late.
  • No pets allowed — The property does not accept pets, so travelers with animals need to look elsewhere.
  • No on-site staff — Like many self-catering properties, there is no front desk, though hosts are described as responsive when contacted.

The car park was a bonus. The hosts went above and beyond with fresh milk, a complimentary bottle of wine, and a delicious cake. Felt welcomed and well taken care of throughout.”

“Our stay at The Cloisters was absolutely fantastic. Three nights here was the perfect base for exploring the city. The location was superb, a short walk into the center, yet surprisingly quiet in the evenings. The house felt like a home away from home, with attention to detail and a cozy atmosphere. The welcome pack — wine, bagels, cream cheese, smoked salmon, milk — was a lovely touch. We felt well taken care of and would highly recommend.”
