10/10 Excellent
"Unforgettable experience! Gorgeous scenery, we spent so much time just relaxing by the stunning pool and taking advantage of the poolside bar. The best hotel breakfast we had in Italy, included daily. The staff were so helpful and kind. They truly go the extra mile. My only minor critique is that the air conditioning was weaker than expected but we were also there during a heat wave! Staff helped remedy the situation with a fan- thank you! We will be back!"
