A small quibble, it would be nice to be given a free bottle of water every day when the room is cleaned rather than just on your first night. Small things make a difference.
Also the restaurant cover charge of €4 per head is rather pricey and was imposed even though they didn’t provide gluten free bread as requested so one of us couldn’t even eat any of it.
However the views are stunning and the pool is lovely.

Hotel bien situé et personnel attentionné. Au regard des autres hotels de même standing et même nombre d'étoiles que nous avons fréquentés lors de ce séjour nous avons trouvé les prix un peu excessifs coté restaurant et bar.
