Loved the property. Close to everything and we found parking close by (travelled in November). In the evening they put on a fire in and it was so cozy.

The hotel is charming and offers a very "home away from home" feel but all the staff are the real stars. Each and everyone are just naturally good natured and accommodating. Lydia always greeted me with a smile and made sure I had everything I needed. The bar and restaurant are not only convenient but also a very beautiful spot to enjoy your most wonderful, top notch meals!

Loved this hotel. Right outside the city walls it was very convenient for parking (December) and to enter the old city. The hotel is old worldly, in a good way. The breakfast was fabulous. Lots of choice with much of it home made.
