overall excellent
Pros:

the staff where exceptional and so friendly, our room was comfy and very nicely decorated.
I would definitely safe here again

Cons:

the only down side to our stay was the portion size of the vegetarian main dish in the evening meal as well as the vegetarian breakfast in the morning.
I had ravioli as a main meal and it was very tasty but very very small.
it was the same thing with breakfast.
