"Our family had three rooms and all parties commented on the most helpful staff - those at front desk but also including the room cleaners. Breakfast was so varied and fresh. Pool was clean and location was walkable to all sites in the village. The food at the bar is excellent and staff very accommodating. This is our 2nd stay this summer. And we will be back.
