10/10! Honestly, I don’t understand why this isn’t a five-star hotel. The service was exceptional from start to finish. We stayed in a room with a terrace, and it was beautiful, spotless, and very comfortable. Every member of the staff was friendly, polite, and incredibly helpful. The breakfast was absolutely delicious, with a great variety of fresh and high-quality options. We truly enjoyed our stay and will definitely be coming back. We can’t wait to spend more time and enjoy the wonderful atmosphere again.
