Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: The staff was very friendly, we felt warmly welcomed, they also brought us gluten free rusks. The place is beautiful, and it is a nice spot to relax and be in nature. The breakfast was delicious, although for the price, there could have been better options.
Negative: The swimming pool was dirty. Also, the view of the river was not that great compared to the photos, as it needs some clearing up work. We were expecting a nicer view of the river. Regarding the price, it is a bit higher for the value that they offer.
