Really good Service and Beautiful Grounds

glorious stay great care fantastic service attentive staff
Everyone working there. Alexandro at the front desk booked my stay with great care. Tim, Chris, and server Alexandro were fantastic. Ollie, Theo, Jenna, Emilia, Jasmine, Pepe, Kamil, Susan, and Scarlit were detailed ensuring I had coffee and water. Leigh was there in the morning, and Luciano and Alfonso also helped.
Gluten-free was difficult to organize in the bar. the chef made arrangements.
