A quiet stay,
up in the hills
Modern Villa is a comfortable, family-run guesthouse set into the hillside — clean rooms, wide balconies, and views over the town below.
Modern Villa is a comfortable, family-run guesthouse set into the hillside — clean rooms, wide balconies, and views over the town below.
Modern Villa sits on a hillside above the town, a short walk from the everyday life of the streets below. It's a smaller, family-run property — the kind of place where the person at the desk knows your room number by the second day.
Rooms are clean and quietly furnished, most with their own balcony or window onto the hills, and the whole building is kept easy to get around, floor by floor.
A small range of room types across the building, from compact and simple to suites with their own sitting area — all kept clean, quiet and easy to relax in.
A comfortable double room, simply furnished, with a flat-screen TV and everything you need for a straightforward stay.
A brighter, larger room with its own door out to a private balcony, plus a dressing table and extra seating.
The most spacious of the rooms, with a wide window looking out over the hills, a sitting corner, and its own balcony door.
A two-part layout with a separate sitting room and sofa alongside the bedroom — the best option for families or longer stays.
Breakfast, lunch and dinner are all served on-site — simple, home-style cooking rather than a restaurant menu, the kind of food that suits a quiet stay in the hills.
Meals are prepared fresh each day, and the kitchen is happy to work around most dietary preferences if you let them know in advance.
A few details that make the stay easier — a reception that's staffed, a building that's easy to move around, and a view worth stepping onto the balcony for.
Most upper rooms open onto a balcony looking out over the town and the hills beyond.
A staffed front desk and a seating area for arrivals and check-out.
Clean stairwells and corridors connecting every floor.
Space to park right at the entrance, with a lobby TV while you wait.
Rooms, common areas and the building itself — including how it looks lit up in the evening.
"We wanted a place that felt looked-after — by people, not just by a checklist."
Modern Villa is a family-run guesthouse built up the side of a hill, floor by floor, with the town spreading out below it. It isn't a large hotel, and it isn't trying to be — the aim is simply a clean, comfortable room, a warm welcome at the door, and a view that makes the climb up worth it.
Guests tend to be families, couples and small groups passing through the hills, staying anywhere from a night to a week.
Classic, balcony, premium and family suite options.
Space to park right at the entrance.
Flat-screen television in every room.
A staffed front desk for check-in and help any time.
Rooms kept clean and refreshed throughout your stay.
Connectivity available across the property.
Suites and larger rooms suited to families and groups.
Home-style meals served on-site, three times a day.
Clean room, great balcony view over the town, and the staff were genuinely helpful with everything we asked.
Booked the suite for our family and it was perfect — plenty of space, and the kids had somewhere to sit that wasn't the bed.
Good value, easy parking, and the building lit up at night looked lovely when we got back from dinner.
