Pros:

Client habitué de cet hôtel depuis des années, je le recommande vivement. Mention particulière pour la gentille réceptionniste qui a patiemment écouté le récit quotidien de mes randonnées, me permettant ainsi de pratiquer mon italien : grazie mille ! Petit-déjeuner exceptionnel dans un cadre magnifique, propreté irréprochable, situation géographique parfaite, proche de tout.

Mediterranes Wochenende
Pros:

Lage ist top. Frühstück auf dem Balkon war sehr gemütlich. Es gibt Tee und Kaffe 24h, was heutzutage eher selten geworden ist!
Gute kostenpflichtige Parkplätze in Gehdistanz.

Cons:

Da wir ans Moon & Stars gingen, stimmt Preis-Leistung leider nicht ganz. Alle Hotels sind in dieser Woche viel zu teuer!
