The Montis has seen better days...it was very empty, and the cavernous rooms and large but somewhat untended gardens give it a neglected air. Dinner, in the restaurant, was extraordinary; two cheerful but frozen waiters attended us three (the restaurant's only diners) by dim candlelight, and served our meals, selected from a short and frankly unappetizing menu, as if nobody else had eaten there in years. All very surreal. Overall, it looks as if the Montis might be struggling to survive.
