Pros:

Snídaně byla vynikající.

Cons:

Večeře mě trochu zklamaly. Malý výběr a jídla bez chuti. Naopak dezerty byly výborné.

Insgesamt ein schönes Wochenende und Erlebnis
Pros:

Wir hatten super Wetter...und die Umgebung ist schon außergewöhnlich ...was absolut anderes .

Cons:

Es war erstaunlich das soviel Leerstand ist und neue Betonklötze dazu gebaut wurden,in der Nähe des Wasserfalls,was dem Gesamtbild nicht gut tut...sehr schöne leer stehende große Gebäude ,das war erschreckend

In generale siamo stati molto bene, personale attento , disponibile e premuroso in ogni momento. Cibo sufficiente in qua
Pros:

Ottima la posizione e l’ampiezza degli ambienti,

Cons:

Mi aspettavo un po’ di più dal centro benessere che ho trovato un po’ datato. La piscina termale è priva dei giochi d’acqua ( idromassaggi) tipici dei centri termali e l’acqua ha una temperatura un po’ bassa per essere un’acqua termale. Sembra più una piscina da riabilitazione post traumatica che una piscina da spa.
