Pros:

⸻

Everything about this stay was truly exceptional – from the very beginning to the very end. The villa itself is absolutely stunning, with beautifully maintained gardens and a serene, heated saltwater pool that creates a perfect sense of relaxation and harmony.

The convenience is outstanding: private parking is available, and the transportation system is extremely well organized. The villa offers its own shuttle service to the city center running every few minutes, all included in the stay, which makes getting around effortless.

I stayed in a Deluxe room with a terrace, and the view was simply breathtaking – definitely worth the upgrade. The room itself is slightly on the darker side, but this adds to the authentic charm and cozy atmosphere.

Breakfast was enjoyable, although the selection for vegetarians and vegans could be a bit more extensive. That said, the staff are incredibly attentive and more than willing to accommodate individual preferences and dietary needs.

The gym is compact but well-equipped, offering everything needed for a good workout. Even when the hotel was nearly fully booked, it never felt crowded – guests are well distributed throughout the property, maintaining a sense of privacy and calm.

One of the highlights was the overall atmosphere. Many of the guests were American, which contributed to a very pleasant, polite, and friendly environment.

The only small detail I personally missed was having a coffee machine or at least a kettle in the room. In the mornings, enjoying the beautiful view from the terrace, it would have been perfect to have a quiet coffee without heading straight to breakfast.

Overall rating: 11/10. I would absolutely return and highly recommend this place to anyone who has the opportunity to visit.

Cons:

Nothing

Fabuleux, j’y reviendrai sans hésiter!
Pros:

C’est la 3ème fois que je séjourne dans cet hôtel . Il est un peu excentré certes mais c’est tellement agréable de quitter l’effervescence de la ville et de se détendre dans ce havre de paix.

Cons:

Rien à part la salle de sport, ça n’est pas digne d’un hôtel 5 étoiles.
Le buffet du petit déjeuner n’est pas non plus à la hauteur d’un hôtel de cette catégorie.
