Everything was wonderful here. My room with a fabulous breakfast was amazing. There were coffee/tea makers and glassware, thoroughly enjoyed it. The people working in the hotel were outstanding. This was an unbeatable and super location just off that gorgeous wooden panelled restaurant, the centre and up a spiral stone staircase. Spent a nice evening at El Murrino, located minutes away from the venue.
