Acceptable stay with some downsides

great varietyair conditioning
The breakfast offered a great variety of options.
The air conditioning did NOT work properly in my beautiful room. It never cooled the room below 24°C (I think the hotel should look into this). I ended up sleeping with the balcony door open most nights. I heard barking dogs and buzzing mopeds.

i had a hire car and parking was convenient. i was given a map of the area. i went to the cocktail bar for a nightcap. the whiskey sour was the best i've ever had (i didn't expect that!).
the bed was very hard. we asked for the room to be cleaned each day, because you have to request it. this request was not fulfilled. the hotel's location is a bit away from the tourist area and decent amenities, which required quite a walk up hills.
