Relaxing and charming place, beautiful surroundings and delicious food.
I would have given 5 stars if we had not found ourselves with no water in the room in a empty hotel and no one answering the phone... it was bad luck (burst pipe) but the service could be improved nevertheless (need more staff at breakfast).
