friendly staffaccommodating servicefresh herbsdark roomspider netspoor organisation
the staff displayed really good friendliness and provided very accommodating service. i had an early departure, and they had a cooked breakfast prepared for me. the interiors and architectural structure looked fantastic, i admired even down fresh herbs growing in pots in the garden.
the family room had one window directly on a corridor, so the room seemed quite dark. i noticed a lot of spider nets in the hotel. the restaurant organisation seemed unfit for kids, we waited almost one hour to get some appetizers.
