The staff is superb! We were treated like royalty, they go the extra mile to please you and have you happy. Wine was a bit expensive, the "swimming " pool is too shallow (70 cm high) so it's not really to swim, however the terrace has a wonderful view and it's very pleasant to just be there and relax. One of the best places we've been thanks to the people (staff).
