Superb

Liked: The staff were very good, particularly Bruno and Vito. Bruno checked us in, explained the facilities and meal times, and served us in the bar in a friendly and professional manner.Vito looked after us in the restaurant. He was friendly, chatty, and served us efficiently, explaining meal and wine options in the evening and again at breakfast.Meals were excellent, nice choice and cooked well. A great choice of different breakfasts, probably the best we've had in a lot of hotel stays. Fantastic choices, and again, it was cooked well.
Disliked: The room was small but comfortable and big enough for our 2 night stay, our only criticism was that the quilt was a odd shape, only just covered the width of the bed but too long for the quilt cover, with the inner sticking out of the bottom by about a foot, quilt cover also had a small rip in it. It didn't really affect our sleep. it just didn't look very good.
