The place is simply wonderful, starting with the reception and its staff, whose smiles never leave their faces and who handle the check-in procedures as quickly as possible. From there, to the hotel lobby made up of several lounges, designed and furnished in a modern way that suits the historic character of the place, then to the warm and beautiful room and the dining hall. Simply put, the place creates a beautiful memory that lasts.
