historical fort, a priceless experience!

luxury experiencebeautiful balconycourtyard noise

staying in the 17th-century fort was a priceless, luxury experience. i enjoyed every second while celebrating my anniversary week. the room 'wednesday' had a cute, unique design with a beautiful balcony i spent countless hours on. the tavern restaurant chefs are 5-star professionals, and sravan cooked delicious food for me.

the rooms had a window on the courtyard with lots of noise. it made relaxing difficult at times. better soundproofing would benefit greatly.
