We just spent six days here for a special pre-baby holiday (babymoon!) What a relaxing stay. We had a duplex suite and wow it was so big and fancy and we felt very lucky with our Secret Escapes deal. The hotel staff were all polite and friendly. The pool and spa is very special and tranquil. I dread going back to my local pool after being spoilt with a week of swimming there! At 22 x 10metres it's a proper pool and not one of these annoying tiny plunge pools some spa hotels have. I had a "mamma's" massage and a facial. I've never got close to falling asleep during a massage but for the first time this extremely soothing massage did it to me. (a few times!) We loved drinks in the main atrium bar each day, (although my only improvement to the whole hotel would be adding some local non-alcoholic beer to their menus as you only have sugary drinks or sugary mocktails to choose if you don't drink) as well as a few coffes sitting in the sun in the courtyard. Breakfasts were good, and dinners in the same Galeria restaurant also very tasty. They have a good value three course menu and good value, tasty wines (so my boyfriend tells me!). The absolute icing on the cake was La Storia restaurant. Wowee - they make the whole evening an experience, rather than just dinner. Don't be put off thinking it's more expensive than Galeria or other places as they certainly give you your money's worth. I've never received so many lovely complimentary touches during one meal, from the amuse bouche, to the delicious and never-ending foccaccia, to the pre and post mini desert treats. The staff in there are also incredibly attentive and well trained. Most importantly the food is delicious of course. Thank you to the hotel for a truly memorable stay - we'll be dreaming of it during our sleepless nights and constant nappy-changes very soon!
