Dukes’ Palace – by Dukes’ Hotel Collection
Lovely hotel in a wonderful location, but still very quiet. Helpful and professional staff and beautifully decorated for the holidays. Breakfast was 38 euro which seemed very high (although there was unlimited sparkling wine). However, no complaints about the hotel or service!
