My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms, although spacious and beautiful, could use some updates due to their outdated interior. The service, particularly from Gianpaolo & Martina, was incredibly helpful and friendly, though there were instances where it felt a bit lacking.

The dining experience was a bit hit or miss, ranging from top-notch to slightly disorganized. Overall, the hotel offered a comfortable stay with room for improvement.
