Hotel lindo, extremamente confortável e café da manhã excelente. Piscina agradabilíssima e muito tranquila. O hotel só precisa resolver o problema das moscas, que são muitas na região. O único ponto baixo fica com a academia de ginástica, inexplicavelmente

Belissima hospedagem

Excelente hospedagem. Propriedade histórica, belíssima. Muito bem cuidada e com jardins perfeitos. Aproveitamos o spa e o jantar foi simplesmente divino. Tenho só a reclamar da arrumação do banheiro. Acho que por esquecimento, não trocaram as toalhas de banho e nem as deixaram arrumadas no porta toalhas aquecido. Nem ao menos tiraram do gancho e porta onde estavam penduradas. À noite, estavam úmidas. Recepção prontamente me atendeu e trouxe toalhas secas.
