What Sunshine Haynie likes about Candella:

What Mónica María Escobar Álvarez doesn't like about Candella:
If your English is not at the best level, it is better that you do not go to this place, you may earn a shout from the waiter. The service very very very bad. The tea, sandwiches and desserts were very good, but too sweet. The place is very small but nice. It would have been a wonderful experience if it had not been for the poor and extremely unpleasant service. View all feedback.
