10/10 Excellent
"Very central right next to the main square and La Visitation. The big bonus is that the hotel has its own car park and several EV chargers. It's important to let the hotel know in advance if you require these. Our room was nicely decorated with a very comfortable bed and an excellent shower. Having a Nespresso coffee machine in the room was a nice touch. Having AC in the room was essential as it was very hot outside. The breakfast buffet offered a wide range of hot and cold dishes."
