Wonderful stay

Absolutely charming - the perfect combination of modern resort amenities with old world ambience and sophistication. Only thing I would change is the menu at the restaurant. Would have ate there every night if the food wasn’t all so gourmet. Instead had to find other places in town for something more casual and traditional
