「限られた数のお客様に最高のおもてなしをしよう」という気持ちがスタッフの皆さんをはじめ、お宿全体で感じられる場所でした。建物は本館とつながっていて、行き来できるようになっています。このお宿は別館という位置づけのようですが、客室も絞ってあるのでゆったりして落ち着いた滞在ができました。料理も一つ一つに気持ちが込められていて、本当においしく、またスタッフさんのお料理説明もとても丁寧で感じが良かったです。お部屋もそれぞれ趣が違うということでこだわりが感じられましたし、スタッフの皆さんのおもてなし精神がさらにこのお宿の魅力を引き上げていました。また泊まりに行きたいです。ありがとうございました。

早くに駐車場に着きましたが、とても気持ち良く受け入をしていただきました。この後の予定は観光ですか？と聞かれたので、ちょっと観光をしてみようかと思っていますと言うと、では石段まで送迎しますねと言って頂きとても助かりました。 お食事も自分達に合わせて次の品を出して頂きとてもゆったりとした時間を過ごせました。 お部屋の名前にあった装飾でとても素晴らしいかったです♪ ゆったりとした時間、癒しを求めて一度訪れて見てはいかがでしょうか。
