Things to know
One guest noted a discrepancy between promotional photos showing poolside aperitivos and the actual service, where aperitivos are not offered by the hotel, even for purchase, leading to a minor disappointment.
“Scrivo un’accortezza: ci sono delle foto nella presentazione della tenuta dove è servito un aperitivo a bordo piscina ma l’aperitivo non viene proposto tra i servizi e inoltre non si può fare a bordo piscina neanche acquistandolo a parte. Lo abbiamo comunque fatto comprandoci da soli bevute e cibo ma sulla terrazza.”
