Beautiful setting and good, calm location. The room we stayed in was recently beautifully refurbished and had an amazing bathroom. The hotel also has a very new and cute little Spa area which we really enjoyed. The staff was very helpful and flexible and the restaurant offers really good food. The biggest room for improvement would be on the breakfast (organization, choice, set-up,..)
