Hôtel confortable et bien situé
Pros:

L’hôtel est propre et bien situé.
Le petit déjeuner est excellent et complet.
La chambre pour 3 était suffisamment grande et confortable, avec un balcon et vue sur la campagne.
La chambre a été rénové, seules la salle d’eau et wc semblent un peu anciens.

Cons:

Manque un peu de ménage à certains endroits : toile d’araignée dans la salle de réception, vitre sale.

Decisamente la puliza delle camere... Staff un po' freddino, ma cortese.

Hotel OK mais éviter le resto de l'établissement service déplorable
Pros:

L'accueil

Cons:

Le repas du soir
Nous étions 6 personnes en tout et piur tout dans la salle.
Nous avons ma femme et moi eu 3 erreurs de services déplorables pour le repas du dîner.
Pas la bonne pizza pour ma femme, de la salade avec mon croc monsieur alors que j'avais demandé sans. Et une portion de frites en plus trop cuites, car oublié par la cuisto...
