Pros:

Ottima la posizione, la quadrupla sono 2 matrimoniali comunicanti con bagno in comune ed era abbastanza spaziosa

Cons:

Check in in ritardo ed anche il giorno successivo la camera alle 16.00 non era ancora pronta. Colazione da migliorare.

Pros:

What an amazing hotel. We had one of the deluxe rooms and deluxe it was indeed. Never ever have I had a room quite like that. 5 meter ceilings, a ton of space AND a bathtub big enough for two people. Exellent location right a the castle - it doesn't get better than this.

Locatie is top, maar we zaten in het bijgebouw en dat had verder geen allure.
