a romantic escape

lovely spacecomfortable bedattentive serviceinoperable window
i found the outdoor space lovely, perfect for a quiet moment. the bed in our room was comfortable and the linens felt very luxurious and soft against the skin. we enjoyed dinner there the first night (the food was quite good!) and the service was attentive.
the bathroom window did not open, a bit difficult to air out after a shower, causing some condensation.

the location was acceptable.
the room felt quite small. i found breakfast service to be slow, and gluten-free options were almost nonexistent. we asked for more yoghurt because the bowl was empty, but the wait became too long, so we gave up.
