perfect recommendationsthoughtful wishes
the service was really good (i especially loved the thoughtful birthday wishes for my partner). the team delivered cake and prosecco to the rooms, a lovely touch! you provided perfect restaurant recommendations and made the bookings. it was one of the best hotels i have ever stayed in.
the welcome bottle of prosecco for the junior suite stay cost less than 10euro (i found it a bit stingy).
