A special stay

complimentary winepiano playerhistorical buildingsewage smell
The complimentary wine all day was very good. Plus they provided small snacks. Breakfast included a professional piano player, it created a romantic atmosphere! The historical building was well kept, the luxurious feel was wonderful. I felt pampered and cared for.
Unfortunately. The room had a terrible smell of sewage. It really was not a very nice place to sleep in because of that. I hope they can address this issue !

The breakfast offered a good variety of choices, and the ambient music created an lovely experience, so every morning reminded me of a special occasion. The wine cellar featured barrels for self-service pouring and a selection of cheeses and olives under glass domes.
