Recent Classic Villa Review: "Location was excellent as we could walk to the centre of town. Being opposite the Arts Centre was another bonus with the Sunday markets and shops. Breakfast included a great variety of fresh fruit, breakfast cereals, different toasts, croissants and "real" coffee. As we went skiing and had to be have an early breakfast there was no problem as the  host was already setting up and so we were able to have the same selection as other guests. Rooms very comfortable, my husband especially liked the under floor bathroom heating! Hosts were very hospitable and nothing was too much trouble. Definitely would recommend this hotel"
