Upon arrival, one of the staff members greeted us. They assisted with our bags. The check-in was quick. I then explored the grounds. The area was fine. The spa was also a real treat. The sauna was particularly nice. I really enjoyed the steam room.
I found the placement of the radiator over the bath odd.

I loved the immaculate cleanliness. I'd give it a 12/10! every corner was super clean, with commendable attention to detail. the staff was great. They ensured my stay was seamless. i rate their service a solid 10/10! the food was amazing!!! each meal was a culinary delight, filled with flavors i wanted more of. Definitely a 10/10.
The only thing i found a little off was the tea and coffee setup. I prefer fresh milk over long-life options. the space felt cramped, it wasn't really to my liking. everything else was great!!!

The staff members were kind and courteous . room one was very comfortable, with a four-poster bed. the tasting menu and wine flight were excellent, though i felt the explanations for the wine pairings could have been expanded. The meal was sumptuous!
I thought the electrical sockets in the room were inconveniently placed. The multi-plug extension cord on the bedside table seemed out of place.
