Enjoyed stay. We would liked to have been in a bigger, if possible. room. We stayed for 9 days. Not enough storage. No storage in night tables and had to ask for 10 hangers. Maybe some hooks on walls.

Room was clean, although very very strong perfume smell. We had to open the window all night to be able to sleep. Other than that, are one night stay was comfortable, close to the gardens, and close to restaurant.
