This hotel has character in spades. The mix of history and modern comfort is spot on. The grounds were lovely to explore and the staff were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. Loved the old-world charm and cozy feel.
From the moment we arrived, we were treated like royalty. The room was spacious with great views, the staff was attentive without being overbearing, and the facilities were immaculate. The breakfast buffet was also a standout—delicious and plentiful!
