    The location close to town very handy for walking directly from the hotel to the shops. The high standard of the dishes offered on the dinner menu. However the chef was outstanding on the night of Friday 29th March, and different on the night of Sunday 31st for the same dish. It was obvious about a change of chef in the kitchen. Keep the chef who was on duty on Friday 29th March and we will be back in a jiffy.

    I booked a penthouse for a four-night stay, which was a fantastic choice due to its stunning lakeside views and the exceptionally helpful staff. Waking up to the beautiful lake each morning was a highlight, and the staff's attentiveness and local recommendations significantly enhanced my experience. The penthouse itself was luxurious yet comfortable, featuring high-quality furnishings and modern amenities, making my stay both memorable and delightful.
