The breakfast was perfect. Fresh fruit and delicious hot options were available with excellent presentation.
I booked half board. The food was quite bland (I was expecting more flavour). I am sure there are better options nearby. The wine list was practically non-existent. They had 7-8 white wines, but most were out of stock.
