My stay at the hotel was unique and enjoyable, featuring an exceptional design that truly sets it apart. I loved the complimentary prosecco on arrival, which was a lovely touch. The room was cozy but a bit snug, making it a tad uncomfortable for an extended stay. The staff were exceptional and went above and beyond to ensure we had a great experience. Although the breakfast was delicious, I felt it could be improved with more seating options. Overall, it was a memorable experience that felt luxurious and distinctly different from standard hotels.
