- "The gardens, lounging areas, breakfasts, spa and pool, bedrooms, staff in all areas of the property" - "I have to admit this was the best hotel in Europe I've ever stayed at - everything from personnel to the amazing palace architecture, gardens and pools was unrivalled, spotless and breathtaking. In the evening we spent amazing time at the bar, that was accompanied by the live piano performance. We really enjoyed the breakfast selection as well. Unfortunately, it was a bit cool during our stay so we didn't have a chance to enjoy pool facilities, but it's gonna be a nice reason to return. All in all, this was a true 5-start experience. Highly recommend."
