This is our 3rd visit and we have always felt very comfortable and very friendly, however the only thing we found this time was the dinner menu was different. We found that the dinner menu was very limited and could have done with more choices for mains and desserts. That would be our only criticism as it was much less variety than from our original stay in 2021.

Wonderful hotel in a palace, with majestic feel. Truly a palace. Large guest rooms with elegant decor. Restaurant was surprisingly excellent. Tight roads driving into this old-world treat. Off the beaten path, so maybe not the right choice for travellers in a hurry.

Beautiful place to stay. The reason for the 4 star rating is the fact there are no outlets to charge a laptop or cellphone. I found on the floor a good distance from a table or bed. This really surprised me because we live in a modern error where people use laptops and cellphones when traveling. Hotel needs to inform guests of this prior to booking. Also, the rooms are very new and modern, a complete contrast to the palace.
