Satisfactory stay overall

ideal locationcute staffprosecco glassescompact roomlimited spaceearly contact

The location was ideal. It provided easy access to key attractions. The staff were cute.. their friendliness certainly enhanced our experience. Our room included a fridge, a sink, and even Prosecco glasses.

Our double room felt quite compact. Space around the bed was limited. The window offered a rather restricted view. Housekeeping contacted us earlier than expected on our departure day. There seemed to be a misunderstanding regarding the agreed checkout time.

the location allowed independence. i appreciated the discounts with nearby restaurants. the team created a comfortable atmosphere in front of the fireplace, it was very romantic.

I found it disappointing the hotel did not present as brand new. the rooms felt small. It was hard to relax without a comfortable chair. the little round table was also stained.
