“Blair Villa South impresses with its Victoria-era décor, well-appointed rooms featuring modern showers, and thoughtful touches like in-room continental breakfasts; the steep location offers bay views from some rooms and the communal lounge. While the hill presents a challenge, the overall experience is a delightful surprise. I'd recommend this property.”
