Overlooking the beautiful cathedral, the rooms were well-fitted and spacious, catering to various needs like family rooms and double twin options. The location was excellent within a quaint old town, close to charming eateries and local shops. The dining experience was one of the best with gourmet products, while the service was exceptional and accommodating. A minor issue was the oversight in replacing water daily in the rooms.
