Amazing Continental breakfast !!

My only complaint is, there are no TV's in the guest rooms. After dinner it would be nice to go back to your room and relax with a little TV.

"Nett aber keine Empfehlung unsererseits"

7.0

Wunderschönes Gebäude, sehr schönes Städtchen, Lage

Im Nachhinein fanden wir das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis nicht ausgewogen. Wirklich schlechter Service im hauseigenen Restaurant wegen einer großen Gesellschaft.
