Es war schön und gemütlich
Pros:

Frühstück sehr übersichtlich , aber gut. Sehr freundliches , zuvorkommendes Personal

Cons:

Gebucht über Booking com, da wurde nirgends erwähnt, dass kein Zimmer ohne Treppe erreichbar ist. Unser Zimmer war im 2. Stock und über 32 Treppenstufen erreichbar. Lift keiner vorhanden.
Uns wurde zuvorkommend unser Koffer ins Zimmer getragen und bei der Abreise wieder hinunter gebracht, danke.
