Delicious Dining

The restaurant at the hotel quickly became a highlight of our trip. I was impressed by the exquisite flavors and high quality of dishes served. Each meal felt like a culinary adventure, and I especially loved the artisan snacks during happy hour. Truly lovely!

Impressive Soundproofing

During my stay, I was amazed by the room's really good soundproofing. Even though the hotel is located near the railway, I barely noticed the trains, which allowed for a peaceful night's sleep after a long day exploring.

Beautiful Pool Area

The swimming pool exceeded my expectations. Surrounded by well-kept palm trees and loungers, the clean water was just the right temperature for a relaxing dip after a day of sightseeing. It was just the oasis I needed!

I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel! The spacious corner room was not only clean but also provided a comfy bed and a great shower. The breakfast was fantastic with a variety of choices. However, the lack of some toiletries like hair conditioner was a bit of a letdown. The hotel's location is perfect, just a short walk to the town center, and complimentary parking was a nice bonus.

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel, with a beautiful property that includes a vineyard and on-site winemaking. The location is convenient for exploring the area, though the train noise can occasionally interrupt the peace. The breakfast options were extensive and delicious, adding to the overall value of our experience. However, while the room upgrade we received was lovely, the initial room we booked had a rather small bathroom that felt cramped.
