Pros:

Le lieu est vraiment reposant, les chambres très confortable et la piscine pour se détendre c'est top. Le petit déjeuner est très bien, il y a du choix.

Cons:

Il y a une cafetière dans les chambres mais pas de bouilloire, c'est dommage car le soir boire une infusion avant de dormir est agréable.
Et quelques degrés de plus dans la piscine intérieure serait bien appréciable. Je là trouve un peu froide pour un début Mars.

Gepflegtes, spezielles Hotel mit viel Charme
Pros:

Sehr sauberes, helles und grosses Zimmer (Nr. 210). Hervorragend schallisoliert = sehr ruhig. Freundliches, aufmerksames Personal. Tolles Ambiente. Grosszügige Hotelanlage. Autoabstellhalle. Schöner Aussenbereich.

Cons:

Die Betten waren für uns zu hart.
Abends und in der Früh störendes Hundegebell aus der Nachbarschaft.
Wasserhahn im Badezimmer unnötig stark bei der Durchflussmenge reduziert.

Pros:

Beautifully restored palace with modern extension with rooms, great garden and surrounding. Sunrise and sunset here are simply magical. One of those hotels what make you want to stay, rather than going out.

As fabulous as I’d hoped.
Pros:

It’s simply magnificent. There’s nothing else to say. I really liked the directory in the television monitor. I also really enjoyed the gym and sauna area.

Cons:

Unfortunately my bed was really hard, but otherwise the room was lovely.
