The hotel was excellent with good but intimate feeling common space. Wonderful staff. Very good dining. They offered car transport which we asked for. However the price was not disclosed resulting in a VERY OVERPRICED transfer from the hotel to the train station. Disappointing really. 65 Euros for a five minute drive.
