"The room was very clean, the pool is very large and very deep. The restaurant on the site (The Garden) is excellent. My only reason for 4 stars v 5 stars is that the room is a little bit dated and a bit plain, but clean and functional. Their olive oil is probably the best olive oil I have ever tasted."
