In room, bathroom was nice with Lumene products, and windows opened! Perfect for a warm summer day. Terrace was lovely but menu limited because it's a French restaurant, and prices a little high.

Upea, siisti hotelli, jossa aivan loistavan hyvä ruokaravintola sekä monipuolinen aamiainen.
Ainoa miinus parivuode, joka kovin pehmeä jossa toinen heilahtaa kun toinen kääntää kylkeä.
