There was an area outside the room to relax and coffee, tea, and water were provided. They also prepared a lovely breakfast. There was plenty of fruit and it was delicious. Also, all the staff were very friendly and we got some great pictures!

From start to finish, the staff was incredibly kind, attentive, and helpful with every detail — from logistics like transportation to local tips. When we mentioned that our room felt a bit too cold, they handled it right away and helped us switch rooms without any hassle. Their willingness to go the extra mile made us feel so well cared for. The food was absolutely delicious, and every meal felt like a special experience. Most of all, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming — it truly felt like a home away from home. We’re so grateful for the experience and would happily return!
