The hotel was perfectly located and absolutely stunning. The pool and spa area was incredible - so atmospheric!
The only downside was that the rooftop bar was not open, even though this was not mentioned in the hotel description, so we weren't able to appreciate the stunning views.

Spacious room in the new wing. Large bathroom with good hot water pressure and nice body care products. Spa is a nice feature although no actual spa - just saunas and pool. Excellent location in the old town.
