The hotel is a throwback to a more elegant time, with spacious hallways and staircase, a garden with pool, and a restaurant on the pleasant terrace with gorgeous views. What a shame, then, that the restaurant service left us feeling irritated and angry. One of the waiters was pompous, condescending, and downright rude; instead of being helpful with the wine, he tried to impress with jargon, and rolled his eyes when we selected a "lesser" wine offered by the glass; when we decided on just a pasta course, his attitude was dismissive and haughty; when asked for dessert menus, he dropped them off and disappeared, and no one deigned to come back to take our order for the next 15 minutes.
