Hidden gem!
Pros:

The facilities were exceptional, especially the pool area, solarium and sauna. I also used the gym, which was nice. We had dinner in Escorpio restaurant and that was divine. Would highly recommend. A hidden gem.

Cons:

Nothing, it was a great trip.

FOR PRANGENDE, uden at være det.
Pros:

Freden

Cons:

At spa’en ikke var pengene værd.
At spa’en blev lukket 1/2 delen af tiden, uanset, den burde være åben.
At spa-personalet ikke var kundevenlige, selv om fejlen endda ikke var hos kunderne.

A beautiful hotel in an interesting old town. Our day would have been fantastic if the spa had been open.
Pros:

The location was great and the parking very easy. The property itself was lovely.

Cons:

Unfortunately, the spa was shut the day we were there which was a disappointment and I wonder whether a small refund should have been offered
