Review Submitted: December 06, 2007, Date of stay: December, 2007

This is the most attractive place we have ever visited. A magnificent old estate, it has been converted into a boutique hotel and apartments.
We were recommended to hire a car but it wasn't necessary as taxis were easily available and the charming local town a 15 -minute walk away.

Breakfast in the hotel dining room was a real treat, as was the gourmet dinner.
