The hotel is great. Big, surrounded by nature, trees, a river, 2 excellent swimming pools and the staff is very friendly. Our room was simply perfect. The restaurant is a joke, a bad joke. They got almost nothing to serve. They dont even show you the menu because 70% of the menu is out. So you will eat what they got, not what you want. Quality of the food not good and terribly expensive.

Un goût de trop peu

En ne restant qu'une nuit nous n'avons pas pu apprécier tout le potentiel de l'établissement. Toutefois nous avons bien profité de la piscine d'eau thermale bien chaude pour se détendre. Le restaurant est correct mais sans plus les portions sont un peu trop grandes. Les chambres sont spacieuses, la literie très confortable. Le site est magnifique. Nous aurions aimé rester plus longtemps.
