    I like the ancient decor of the rooms. The bed was super confortable. The yogurt and muesli was very nice too. The little area is quiet and safe. The garden is so cute and Bella the cat is very endearing.

    Nicola made us feel extremely welcome from the moment we arrived. She left delicious fresh products in our rooms: muesli, fruit, eggs, fresh bread and rusks, good coffee and tea. She was ever so thoughtful and had already made dinner reservations...
