A very satisfying stay with a homely feel.
Pros:

Food was excellent and the staff were attentive. The concierge was great in booking taxis and tours.

Cons:

The mattress in the old wing was quite uncomfortable. Not until I was moved to the new wing, did I find it acceptable. Other than this issue everything was just perfect.

The hotel offers also massage and haircuts which we both used. This made a more special since the massage area was speci
Pros:

Ambiance was nice and in a private atmosphere. It is a bit outside of the center which results in less noise and traffic. There reasonably amount of space between the Main Street and the hotel which supports the privacy.

Cons:

Our checkout went less smooth than expected. The reserved airport shuttle was not properly documented resulting in some delay. Obviously this can happen.
