the hotel grounds were expansive and offered well marked trails for exploring. the infinity pool provided fine views and a relaxing atmosphere. i found the pier great for wild swimming. breakfast was a positive point with lots of choice and fresh food options.

underwhelming stay, overpriced experience

maintained groundsdamaged furnitureuntrained staff
the grounds were maintained well.
The rooms seemed dated and not well-kept. our "superior double room" had damaged furniture and scratched paint. It lacked any charm. the price for drinks at the bar felt excessive given the lack of trained staff. My cocktail cost €17 but was poorly made.

I enjoyed my stay. The walking trails on the grounds were scenic (I explored several routes). The outdoor infinity pool was a highlight. It provided a relaxing experience. The staff was friendly and accommodating.
The room lacked easily accessible plugs. The kettle had to be boiled on the floor because the cable was short. The breakfast buffet felt very limited.
