Dated planning illustration for two adults sharing one room, 19–25 January 2027: seven days and six nights, flights excluded. Hotel prices are public room-table observations from 2 October 2026, not checkout-reconciled quotes or held rooms.

Do not add duplicate VAT. 6%gross lodging excluding breakfast/board; round down to euro cent.

The inspected menu did not separately itemize VAT/service: no additional percentage invented, no assertion of zero unlisted charges. Confirm extras when ordering. Every total shows its reserve and the subtotal before it. Each example is headed by its hotel's name; the order follows room price, not quality.
