The highlight for many is the plentiful and varied breakfast buffet, offering an ample selection of both sweet and savory options. Guests appreciate the availability of gluten-free choices and note the quality of the coffee, which can be freshly ordered rather than from a machine. The experience of enjoying a delicious cappuccino on the terrace contributes to a pleasant start to the day. Some reviews mention an extensive offering, suggesting that the breakfast is hearty and complete, with some even describing it as excellent.

The dinner service is often noted for its excellence, characterized by a touch of luxury that comes at the standard price for the area. Guests who dined at the hotel's restaurant found the meals to be delicious, enjoying flavors that ensured a memorable culinary experience accompanied by some tasty wine.
However, it is worth noting that some guests encountered closure issues with the restaurant, which at times was unavailable for service, leaving them unable to dine at the hotel. This occasionally left guests searching for alternative dining options, which could be disappointing if they were specifically eager to sample the hotel's offerings. Despite occasional staffing issues, the positive feedback about the food quality remains a highlight for diners who managed to enjoy the services available.
For those who appreciate fish, the menu offers excellent choices, although some diners mentioned the lack of variety for those who don't favor fish dishes.

Rooms

Rooms are described as comfortable and having the ability to achieve complete darkness, which is ideal for a restful night's sleep. Some rooms also provide wonderful views, adding to the romantic allure of the old building.
While the hotel successfully balances historical character with modern renovations, some areas can feel dated, with carpets and certain details reflecting the charming imperfection of its historical setting.
