The hotel sits atop the hill with captivating views across the valleys, resembling a modern-day castle with a nod to the area's intriguing history. The location offers stunning vistas, although the descent down the hill might pose a challenge. The service is exceptional, marked by remarkable attentiveness and efficient room service. However, the rooms with red carpeting are in need of upgrades to tackle water seepage. The dining experience, featuring delectable cured meats, is exceptional, and the facilities are top-notch.

Wow, this hotel sits on top of the hill with beautiful views across the valleys, giving a nod to the area's weird history. The location is truly stunning, near to many attractions. The service is top-notch with great service and room service available. The rooms, however, with the red carpet, need to be upgraded as water was coming in. The authentic Italian pizza in the dining area is a must-try. Overall, a memorable stay with some room for improvement.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location was stunning with beautiful views across the valleys, but the rooms need serious upgrading as water was coming in. The service was top-notch, especially with the fantastic room service. The dining experience was a bit lacking, even with sushi available.

The hotel is perched on top of the hill with beautiful views across the valleys, offering a modern-day castle experience that nods to the area's peculiar history. Despite the intriguing location, the rooms need upgrading as water seeps in, affecting the red carpet. The service is exceptional, providing great room service. However, the dining options could be more varied, with a highlight on American pancakes. The facilities are adequate, but there is room for improvement to enhance the overall guest experience.
