Pros:

Staff are very friendly and extremely accommodating. The breakfast is outstanding. The beds are very comfortable. Great value for money just a shame that the spa is quite expensive - I'm used to it being included in the room rates.

Cons:

There is no bar so you can't get soft drinks or beer.

Dont worry about booking anywhere else!!!
Pros:

The housekeeper went above and beyond even folded our laundry and organized our toiletries. The front desk staff and owner went way above any expectations we could have ever had, we have stayed at 5 star resorts and not treated more like family.

Cons:

Nothing amazing experience

Pros:

Wir haben den kleinen Eingang zum Hotel erst gar nicht entdeckt. Drinnen waren wir aber umso überraschter, wie schön und außergewöhnlich alles designt war. Man hat uns gleich mal Cannolis zum Willkommen gereicht und dann anhand eines Plans erklärt, was wir alles anschauen sollten. Das Zimmer war toll. Wirklich überwältigt waren wir vom Frühstück. Die Bedienung hat ohne Unterlass Teller mit allem möglichen gebracht, so dass noch ein Tisch dafür hinzu gestellt werden musste. Am Ende war es wie ein Buffet am eigenen Tisch.
