Staff1087Strength
From delivering hot coffee in 5 min each morning to arranging all the details to and from - the atmosphere, quality of staff and food is beyond amazing!
Tripadvisor, September 2026, rated 5/5 by this guest
Attentive and professional service, very well-kept rooms.

Service was less attentive than normally sue to the focus being the wedding, we believe.

Quiet at night244Strength
The location was great, close to a lot of sites but quiet and relaxing inside the hotel.
Tripadvisor, June 2026, rated 5/5 by this guest
The hotel grounds are magnificent, beautiful buildings and garden that allow a rare sense of serenity.

Cleanliness113Mostly good
Elegant rooms, flawless cleanliness, and discreet, professional service throughout your stay.
Google, December 2025, rated 5/5 by this guest
The hotel rooms were on the small size but very clean.
Booking network, December 2025, rated 10/10 by this guest
I stayed at the property, which disappointed me due to the poor cleanliness of the rooms and public areas; for a renowned property, it was a truly disappointing experience.
Tripadvisor, July 2026, rated 1/5 by this guest
Too few mentions to judge: room size, value, views, room condition, beds and pool.

What really annoyed me was that at checkout, there were two entries on the bill totaling €75.

Expensive food and drinks3 of 1361 in 45 reviews
For a 5-star hotel, it's really not classy to serve flat champagne at 25 euros a glass...
Google, November 2025, rated 1/5 by this guest
Our only feedback is the menu is extremely pricey - which inherently isn’t an issue but wasn’t always matched by the value (lunch in particular, would have been better eating at a local spot for half the cost, but we recognize part of the cost is for the beautiful location / scenery).

Something stolen1 of 136 reviews
The most serious incident was the theft of my cell phone at the Stravinskij Bar, in an area that should be highly monitored: the lack of cameras and the explanations I received were completely unsatisfactory.
