I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were large, lovely, and beautifully decorated with luxury soft furnishings and lots of nice touches like sparkling wine, chocolates, homemade biscuits, and a Nespresso machine. However, the only downside was the lack of a view, except for skylights and a shuttered window at floor level. The beds were comfy and well-appointed, making for a cozy retreat.

The hotel offers clean and beautifully decorated rooms with luxury touches like sparkling wine, chocolates, and a Nespresso machine, although the rooms themselves lacked a view. The service was exceptional, with everyone being very helpful and courteous. The location, perched on top of a hill overlooking the valley, is perfect and provides limited seating areas for pre-dinner drinks or coffee. The dining experience was excellent, offering delicious meals despite a slightly chaotic atmosphere. Overall, a fantastic stay with some minor room view limitations.
