Superbe séjour.
Pros:

Un charme fou pour cet établissement dans une ancienne tannerie, que des matériaux de qualité : marbre, acier, bois. Des chambres vastes et confortables avec vue imprenable sur la mer.

Cons:

Difficultés pour se garer, heureusement il y a un voiturier.

Ein historisches Hotel
Pros:

Das Frühstück war sehr üppig

Cons:

Das Hotel liegt an einer sehr stark befahrenen Strasse und direkt unter der Einflugschneise. Wenn man die Balkontür öffnet, ist es sehr laut.

The hotel interior was luxurious, the bed was huge and very comfortable. The highlight of our stay was the breakfast - it was the most elaborate hotel breakfast me and my partner have ever encountered anywhere.
