This is a beautifully renovated castle or country mansion. Rooms are large but lack furnishings. Our room had what seems to be another room with two sofas and a lot of empty space. A rug and a center table would have been nice. Changing the layout is better. For someone coming from the US, there are few or no electrical outlets that work for us. Needed to buy additional adapters. The money spentbis woth the grouds, staff, service but not the building or rooms themselves.

Beautiful venue with some areas for improvement

My wife and I stayed here for a babymoon. Our overall experience was very positive and we would stay again however, there are a few areas for improvement. We found the spa facilities lacking compared to other similarly-rated hotels: the pool temperature was rather cold and sunloungers were uncomfortable. Access to spa facilities was highly limited without paying extra (such as for the jacuzzi). Housekeeping was good, but some polishing in a few places would help. Quality of the food was excellent and staff most welcoming. Value for money overall was reasonable but not great.
