“A traditional hotel nestled in the hills. Our room, recently renovated with great taste, was spacious and well equipped. We didn’t have the chance to try the hotel’s restaurant due to our late arrival, but the breakfast was excellent and plentiful.”
“The food was very good, a big 👍. But the service and the staff were not at all polite and had a disdainful attitude... Next to the table where I was sitting there was a family who spoke English with them or behaved differently.”
“Great location and some nice food. Sadly the wine was just ok, and service horrible. Waiting for such a long time at the table for dinner, and no smiles from staff. I believe they try to do their best but with small changes it could have been much better. Also no AC in the room. Just a fan in the roof.”
