clean sheets daily towel balcony view

I stayed in a superior twin room balcony. The room included L'Occitane wipes left on the pillow daily, a nice touch. Crispy clean sheets and daily towel changes were provided. Nespresso capsules were replenished each day also.

The mirror was a little too low, especially for a tall person.

The rooms were lovely, it was a GREAT stay.

The mini bar prices were a bit much. I found a bottle of water was EIGHT euros. This felt excessive, especially when tap water is perfectly drinkable. I ended up going to a local shop to buy my drinks because of it.
