Excellent property off the beaten path - great for a close option near the airport. Really cool museum meets modern hotel vibe. Pool is really relaxing and you can enjoy a drink/quick bite. There is a restaurant within the palace that has cute little cats running around. Super unique spot!

Clean modern rooms in a separate block to the original small palace. Nice pool area and good breakfast buffet. Not quite the same standard of service as would be typical in a 4* e.g. they did not replenish the coffee pods for the Nespresso machine

Chaotic check-in. Only one staff dealing with people checking in and tourists trying to pay to see the gardens. Hotel nice but seemed disorganized and understaffed. Pool area is nice but very busy. Good option to be close to airport for an early flight. Breakfast was nice.

Wonderful hotel in a palace, with majestic feel. Truly a palace. Large guest rooms with elegant decor. Restaurant was surprisingly excellent. Tight roads driving into this old-world treat. Off the beaten path, so maybe not the right choice for travellers in a hurry.

This is our 3rd visit and we have always felt very comfortable and very friendly, however the only thing we found this time was the dinner menu was different. We found that the dinner menu was very limited and could have done with more choices for mains and desserts. That would be our only criticism as it was much less variety than from our original stay in 2021.
