Country Retreat

private courtyard fresh milk comfortable bed
The room featured its own courtyard, a nice surprise. Fresh milk arrived in a flask, a thoughtful touch for morning coffees. The bed and bathroom were very comfortable indeed.
I found breakfast service slow, possibly due to staff levels, but this did not spoil the stay.

I thoroughly enjoyed my time at the hotel. The staff was cute and accommodating. The breakfast offered a delicious start to each day. The attention to detail, like the provided cookies and water in the room, was appreciated.
