The best breakfast ever and fantastic location
Pros:

Spectacular breakfast, the best in my life. Organic olive oil, handmade pastries, salty baked dishes, local delicasies, seasonal treats and huge choice of local herbs. Free and private parking. Rooms are spacious and staff absolutely competent. Location can't be better!

Cons:

Rooms could be renewed, feel dates. Health club costs 30€ so no one uses it.
