We had a lovely time, the staff were all lovely, we had treatments in the spa and the two girls that done them were amaz
Pros:

The hotel was decorated lovely, we had a garden room which was so nice, very clean.

Cons:

The swimming area, sauna etc definitely needs updating and cleaning needs to be better. The showers in the ladies changing room wasn’t clean and it was so annoying as you had to keep pushing a button to keep it on, not ideal when washing hair. Doesn’t reflect the hotel. Need’s improving.

Pros:

Struttura molto bella e camera spaziosa

Cons:

Personale della colazione un pò burbero (è vero che siamo arrivati pochi minuti prima della chiusura, ma non accogli gli ospiti con sguardo di rimprovero guardando l'orologio e dicendo di fare in fretta, in una struttura del genere).
Poca insonorizzazione tra le camere
