We loved our stay in this beautifully restored church—it’s full of character and charm but also feels luxurious with the gorgeous stone bathrooms and comfortable beds. The great room is even more dramatic than in the photos, and we enjoyed dinner on the balcony on a cool fall night. We can’t wait to return with friends and family. Note: the stairs up to the great room and one bedroom are long and steep!
