Très bel hôtel hors du temps
Pros:

Hôtel très beau, on retrouve l'ancien couvent avec son église intact . La salle du restaurant avec ses voutes est magnifique. Bon petit dejeuner.
Piscine intérieure avec jacuzzi, sauna et hammam . Piscine extérieure avec jardin et bar. Il y a tout pour se reposer dans un bel environnement.

Cons:

Les chaises en fer sur la terrasse, ça aurait été mieux des transats pour observer les étoiles filantes .
Restaurants trop cher.
Oreillers trop mous.
