Romy from Switzerland (26 April 2023)
The SPA was fabulous! We had an excellent massage on the first day. The view from our room was beautiful. And the room was spacious enough. I feel refreshed, relaxed and full of energy thanks to our stay there! I recommend it. What could be improved: You need a car to stay at this hotel and fully enjoy it. I'm not a fan of carpets in hotel...

I enjoyed pretty much all of them. The view from the hotel, food and the Spa. The hotel was so peaceful. I was happy for other visitors, too.
What could be improved: Nothing. But the location can be challenging without a car.
