The location, this is the closest hotel to the archaeological site, the setting, the room, the buildings. There was only a set of towels for a room for two...

The restaurant, especially for an hotel of such standing, could have been better. The buffet meals, with no other choice, were rather unremarkable, and the choice of wines very limited. IN the room, there was only a set of towels for a room for two...

The historical feeling of generations having passed through the hotel and the place having remained so beautiful. The setting is marvelous and rooms are quaint.

The restaurant style is a bit rigid and the rooms are a bit aged.
