My favourite was the ground-floor room facing the city — peaceful, immaculate, and beautifully presented. The bed was exceptionally comfortable, ensuring a great night’s rest. The staff were warm and welcoming, and reception was very accommodating, promptly providing swim towels when needed. The pool area was clean and refreshing, adding to an overall relaxing stay.
