Avventura coloniale
Pros:

La struttura dell'albergo. Coloniale con quel gusto retrò. Sembrava di rivivere in un'altra epoca. Arredato con gusto. Colazione molto buona e ristorante top!

Cons:

Nella spa non ci sono massaggiatori uomini nonostante ti chiedano nel format da compilare se preferisce un massaggiatore maschile o femminile.

Pros:

The best place to stay if you are looking to get away from the busy city centre. Very nicely positioned on the hills.

Cons:

Just a suggestion: more staff in the evening to cope with large group of dinner guest and more tables for beautiful outside area would further enhance the experience.
