We had a wonderful stay at this charming boutique hotel nestled in a quaint village. The property perfectly blends historic character with beautifully modernized rooms that are stylish, comfortable, and thoughtfully updated while still preserving the building's unique charm. One of the highlights of our visit was the food. Every meal was excellent, with fresh, well-prepared dishes and attentive service that made dining a real pleasure. The only drawback to be aware of is that several of the rooms do not have air conditioning. If you're visiting during warmer weather or prefer a cooler room, it's worth confirming that your room includes A/C before booking. Overall, this is a lovely place to stay if you're looking for a cozy, character-filled hotel with outstanding food and a peaceful village atmosphere.
