It’s a nice place in a lovely area, the room was very good. Front desk staff and cleaners were great, but at breakfast it was tricky to get a coffee promptly. they should put nespresso machines in the rooms really. Gererally my main issue is with the restaurants, overpriced and mediocre food. very useful to have a car to allow going elsewhere. so we had a great time and its a place I would consider staying again, but I cannot give five stars because of the restaurants.

We had a great stay. It’s super peaceful and the views are amazing. The food is great too. The only pitfall is that things are advertised in their pictures but are not included, like the spa. They have so many photos of the sauna and steam but they cost.

Beautiful hotel on the water. Very remote location. Hiking within walking distance but no restaurants within walking distance. I was able to rent an automatic car that was delivered to the hotel. There was no concierge service as was advertised but the front desk was helpful. Book your excursions in advance as they aren’t offered daily.
