Pros:

old or luxury?.... .Nice castle, gargen, very nice and hospitable Lady in reception and same one during breakfast. Furniture, lamps and decoration also impressive.

Cons:

Price pretent to be luxury, book in the room "luxury in Pais Vasco" pretend the same. but is not. is just old. shower itself as a unit to wash - worst i ever seen- please please please change it to normal one. Jacuzzi - of course do not work - but is not a problem as it is very small for 2 people.... why? who need it for 1 person in a suit for two? The toilet is swinging - yes it is ) headboard of the bed is not fixed as well. so key point of luxury are just not there. while bathroom itself is impressive and can be amazing in case you make it in a good way. what to say - very dual opinion we have. for us - looks pity for a place like that. may be is also time to paint all wood to give it an intensive colour of life....now is faded....also lost it's luxury meaning.... anyway we hope it will change and target of our review is this.

Sehr schönes stilechtes Relais&Chateau
Pros:

Sehr schöne Lage, ruhig. Stilechtes Interieur, das frisch und gepflegt ist (Schlösser können manchmal sehr verstaubt sein im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes…) . Empfehlenswert das Restaurant, sehr schönes Frühstück. Die Essentials stimmen: sauberes, bequemes Zimmer und Bett. Freundliches Personal. Grosser Parkplatz vorhanden.

Cons:

Nichts. Im Sommer würde man eventuell Pool vermissen im schönen gepflegten Park…

Original, mais quelques défauts...
Pros:

Dormir dans une petite tour ronde du château est un moment original. Le château en lui même et son parc sont plutôt agréables. Le parking est gratuit.

Cons:

Le matelas est dur comme une planche et le petit déjeuner très très rationné. Un mauvais rapport qualité/prix.

Хороший отел в настоящем замке
Pros:

Отличный замок, очень интересные и не обычные номера) впервые жил в старинном замке, точнее мой номер был в башне с очень толстыми стенами)
Советую побывать там 🤗

Cons:

Завтрак… впервые вижу отель, где завтрак начинается с 9 утра((( я приехал по работе, проплатил завтрак, но по факту оба дня я уезжал раньше в Бильбао и по факту не смог попробовать завтрак (((
