a charming retreat

sweet touchcoffee machinecreaking noise
the staff offered a tour, pointing out the coffee machine and tea. i found fresh macaroons and chocolates in my room upon my return, a sweet touch. the breakfast presentation rivaled a five-star restaurant , and was very tasty.
the stairs creaked loudly, as did the bedroom floors in neighboring rooms. this noise was excessively disruptive throughout the night. i would struggle to recommend this accommodation because of it.
Dining
10/10
breakfast included many options for all tastes and appetites , and they were accommodating to adjustments. the presentation was amazing , as if prepared in a five-star restaurant. coffee was available throughout the day for all guests.
