Sarvpreet singh · IN · 2026-06-15

Très bel endroit plein de charme

8.0

- Environnement exceptionnel, au calme, jardin verdoyant, très belles piscines, bâtiment/ monument de toute beauté - Gentillesse du personnel, attention et disponibilité - Surclassement, taille et décoration de la chambre - Restaurant : nourriture très bonne au dîner - Accueil de bienvenue avec musique et jet de pétales de fleurs

- Qualité du petit déjeuner bien en-deçà du dîner - Propreté qui pourrait être renforcée (d'où le 8/10 car sinon tout était parfait) : tâches sur les tapis, tâches de sang sur l'unique peignoir de la salle de bain (nous étions 2 donc il en manquait déjà un de base) - Manque d'instructions dans la chambre concernant les facilités et informations générales - La piscine en forme de rond est absolument incroyable et magnifique, dommage que la couleur de l'eau ne nous ait pas donné confiance pour nous baigner dans celle-ci alors que c'est la plus belle. Nous avons donc opté pour la seconde, près du spa. Magnifique et calme aussi !
