“The property's setting opposite the castle is quite remarkable, and it's clear the recent refurbishments have brought comfort and modern touches to many of the rooms, including some of the garden chalets. While the restaurant menu had its occasional omissions, the homemade ice creams were a definite highlight, and the staff consistently struck a chord of professional friendliness, making even unexpected room changes feel managed with care. It feels like a place that truly strives for guest satisfaction, evident in attentive service and thoughtful details like fresh milk and bottled water.”
