We really loved staying here, the only downside being that it was raining the entire time. The rooms were quite comfortable though it was a bit challenging to figure out the electronics. We had a wonderful meal at the brasserie (not the Michelin starred restaurant), and enjoyed the spectacular breakfast. Would definitely return. Staff was very welcoming and helpful, and also spoke English.

Besides being a Tesla Destination Charging Point the Hotel is proper, clean and with a very friendly reception. The restaurant offers fine food and good wines with spoiled staff doing their best.
