Reviews and Ratings
I really enjoyed my stay at the hotel. The rooms were relaxing, extra comfortable with a zen vibe, and I especially liked the fresh greens in the room, which highlighted the hotel's commitment to sustainability. However, I was a bit disappointed that basic amenities like a coffee and tea machine were missing. The bathrooms were surprisingly spacious and comfortable, which was a pleasant surprise for European standards.
The hotel sits on a beautiful hill, ensuring excellent views and surprising pleasantness in all aspects. The rooms, although slightly boxy, are provided with slippers and bathrobes by default. The service was extremely helpful and lovely, although the young staff may not fully meet all expectations. The location offers a peaceful retreat but is a bit removed from key destinations, scoring high in all respects but somewhat limited in facilities. The dining experience is excellent, with a vast selection and just a minor suggestion for improvement. Overall, a lovely stay with some minor drawbacks worth considering.
The hotel offers rooms with a nice view of the town, clean, and with excellent bathrooms. While looking fantastic, they could use a little more furniture for travelers with luggage. The rooms are very spacious, creating a tranquil ambience.
I was a bit disappointed that the hotel didn't offer room service, especially for breakfast, but the rooms were still clean and beautiful with amazing views. The sitting area was lovely too.
The hotel has super cool rooms, but it would be important to clarify if they include a safe at booking. There is very little closet space and no safe provided in the rooms. However, the service is extraordinary as they go above and beyond to accommodate your requests. The location is fantastic, just a short walk to the center. The dining experience is top-notch, incredibly delicious with a wide variety of fresh options. The facilities are modern and well-organized with room for improvement.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were a bit damp but had a lovely view and were very clean and beautiful. Unfortunately, there was no spa menu, dinner menu, or information about local adventures available.
