“The building itself, dating from the mid-19th century, possesses a certain gravitas, lending a lovely backdrop to the impeccably maintained garden and pool area, a genuinely refreshing escape. Breakfasts here are a highlight, particularly the local yoghurt, and the attentive service from the owner and staff creates a welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel genuinely at home, encouraging a longer stay than perhaps initially planned.”
