“Tranquil oasis in midst of bustling town”
Hotel is a haven of tranquility in a bustling little town. Lovely views from the property of hte lake and the beautiful gardens. Wonderful pool and jacuzzi Rooms and bathrooms were basic but very clean, Staff were very friendly although the receptionist on duty did not speak much English.We stayed most of the next day and were allowed to leave our bags in reception and to use the pool until we left at 3pm (checkout is at 12) We ate dinner there which was good - but nothing outstanding. Excellent coopertive for handmade goods right next door with all proceeds going to the school - great products and prices
