Pros:

Uns hat ausser unten aufgeführtem Punkt alles sehr gut gefallen. Dieser hat aber unseren Aufenthalt negativ beeinträchtigt und wiegt deshalb dementsprechend schwer!

Cons:

Nachdem wir im Frühstückraum an einem Zweiertischchen am Fenster Platz genommen haben, wurden wir von einem Kellner laut und gestikulierend weggejagt. Anzufügen ist, dass die meisten Gäste bei dem schönen Wetter bereits auf der Terrasse sassen, dass bei unserer Ankunft kein Personal sichtbar war und dass keine Tafel: Warten Sie bitte hier....... sichtbar war. Wir haben das Restaurant während unserem Aufenthalt nicht mehr betreten.

We enjoyed our stay and would love to visit again someday!
Pros:

We truly enjoyed the location of this hotel. Our room was beautiful and the balcony was so enjoyable.

Cons:

Unfortunately, we only had cool water for showers during our stay. We could get hot water in the sink but not the shower. They were very apologetic about this and made note of the concern. I’m sure it is not a consistent issue.

Pros:

Das Hotelzimmer war sehr komfortabel, die Aussicht vom Balkon wunderschön. Das Personal war jederzeit freundlich und hilfsbereit. Die Lage des Hotels könnte besser nicht sein, viele nette Restaurants in unmittelbarer Nähe am Wasser. In wenigen Minuten ist man in der schönen Altstadt.

Pros:

Nette Terasse mit Wirlpool. Frühstück sehr gut.

Cons:

Hatten Halbpension gebucht und hier wurde beim Essen gegeizt. Kein Salatbüffet, keine Antipasti. Stattdessen mickrigen Salat ODER Suppe, danach nur die Wahl zwischen Fisch oder Fleisch, mickrigens Dessert. Es schneckte gut, aber richtig satt wurde man nicht . Selbst bei der pasta durfte man nicht selbst Parmesan nehmen. Der Ober streute exakt 2 Löffelchen drüber, dann nix wie weg mit dem Käse. Sehr ärgerlich.
