Very good place in a warm little town.

We knew this hotel for previous stays. Very good, but the gym is still minimum, not worthy, and even one machine (of two) is broken. And the pool is not any more, despite it figures in the propaganda. The breakfast is good, the beds are nice and the employees are EXTRA kind.
