Unfortunately we are not there. I wanted to celebrate my partner's birthday. I booked 2 months in advance, already seen all the details even for the cake, the only surprise that worked out luckily, but everything else really disappointed me. The birthday package included: overnight stay, breakfast and dinner included with cake, couple massage and SPA €480. This was agreed. We arrived at the monastery, I was presented with a bar for the entrance where I had to enter a code that should have been sent to me by email, never arrived, and that's fine, they let us in. We had the SPA for 2 hours from 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm and then at 5:00 pm a couple massage, booked the day before because unfortunately no one had shown up (yeah if you book 2 months in advance it's a problem to make an appointment...). Ok, I'll move on to this aspect too, we enter the SPA at 4:00 pm, because in 30 minutes they make you sign papers, privacy etc... and ok... it's 5:00 pm and unfortunately an unexpected accident happens to a person who slipped in the SPA and our couple's massage is cancelled. They ask us if we want to do it for 7:00 pm, to which I also say no, since I had other intentions, like having an aperitif and relaxing and then going to dinner. At this point after the aperitif, where they don't even bring you a napkin that we then asked for, we go to dinner. I order a French wine from Burgundy, it's not available! They offer me another, ok I accept! We order and the couple next to us asked to have a wine that they no longer had twice... total embarrassment, the couple then agreed on a local wine... no comment. Food neither good nor bad, in my opinion really generous portions but nothing special. The average is €25 per dish! We go to bed and then breakfast, with frozen and reheated pastries.... come on... is this luxury? Tired of all this I go to pay, I am presented with a bill of €780 for 1 night. And I say, ok look there must be a mistake, the massage could not be done because you called the ambulance that arrived after 1 hour to assist the person who fell. "Ah sorry my colleague did not write it down", the wine was €60 and the aperitif €30, I should have paid €330 + wine + aperitif. A couple next to us (without birthday offer) with dinner and overnight stay paid the same as us, maybe less or €312, which I overheard since I was there, except that they also added dinner to my bill. Total €680! for 1 night and a non-existent service. I received the survey to fill out via email after about 2 days, so I pointed out the error, but I didn't expect a response, instead, they apologized and said, don't worry, we'll offer you €250 for the mix-up at our Monastery, or the difference you paid if you leave us the bank transfer. Look, make the bank transfer and we'll call it a day. As of today, 1 month has passed and no one has heard from me and the bank transfer never arrived. Is this luxury? Paying
