Beautiful accommodations. The rooms have a wonderful view, and there's a lockable bicycle storage room in the underground garage. Fine regional cuisine.

A beautiful shelter for resting and cooling off during the hot months, where you can sit in the shade and be protected from the elements. Ideal for resting and having a snack.
