Location
10/10
The location is fine! i loved the convent. It has so much history. key elements were retained. The stay was still luxurious. the hotel is in an idyllic setting. It is also peaceful.
The hotel has beautiful grounds. It features courtyards and walking trails. Breakfast offered a fantastic selection (i ESPECIALLY liked the pastries). The location is just a couple miles outside town.
The service felt quite corporate. I didn't feel particularly valued. The barman refused to make a small modification to a drink (a simple cappuccino). The sauna wasn't warm enough. It was only about 70 degrees. The jacuzzi had a similar issue.

the hotel grounds were extensive and beautifully maintained. i enjoyed the generous and tasty breakfast buffet each morning. the pool area was amazing with comfortable loungers available, though i noticed some minor wear on a few cushions. it was easy to drive to the town from the hotel.
the jacuzzi wasn't as warm as i hoped, it could have been a bit hotter.
