10/10Breakfast was generous with 2 choices: continental and 'local'. We only went for the continental which was very nice: fresh fruits, fresh juice, slice of delicious bread and eggs + sausages. We pretty much liked everything: service, location, view, food...
10/10The impressive facilities, the location in the nature but very close to the town and the journey to get there was very nice and interesting, friendliness of the staff, uniqueness, few rooms
