Reviews and Ratings
What a delightful stay! The hotel is simply charming, nestled right on the river with a cozy atmosphere. The rooms are inviting and overlook the scenic grounds, but could use a bit of sprucing up. The service is top-notch, making me feel truly valued. However, a more diverse dining experience would have made it perfect. The facilities are well-maintained, offering a relaxing retreat at a reasonable price.
The hotel is beautifully located by the sea, offering breathtaking views and easy access to local restaurants and shops. The rooms are spacious and modern, providing a comfortable stay. However, the dining experience, especially the wood-fired pizza, fell short of expectations. The facilities, including the pool and beach access, added value to the overall stay.
The hotel is a peaceful retreat by the river, offering stunning views and a relaxed atmosphere. While the rooms are spacious and well-equipped with a balcony overlooking the tranquil grounds, the service was a bit slow at times. The location is convenient, close to shops and restaurants, making it easy to explore the area. The dining experience featuring succulent organic chicken was a highlight, but the facilities could use a bit of modernization.
