Staff repeatedly praised as friendly, professional and welcoming (reception, restaurant, housekeeping, spa staff); one review reported very rude staff, so overall sentiment is positive but with isolated negative experience.

Fantastic, great location and lovely staff.
Pros:

Room was great and nice and quiet, pool area and restaurant really nice. Parking was secure, easy and free.

Cons:

Pool was a little cold to be in for a while (we visited in April, probably better in summer) and the jacuzzi in the Spa could have been warmer. Really just small niggles nothing major

Pros:

La cortesia del personale in sala colazione; la comodità dei letti, la disponibilità di te e caffè in camera; la varietà a colazione che non provoca assefuazione pur con una permanenza di più giorni

Cons:

La luce in bagno accesa dal secondo ospite disturba il riposo dell' ospite già a letto per un sistema finestra presente nel muro del bagno concepito ottimamente per dargli luce, ma in effetti disturbante
