Wir waren 3 Nächte in diesem Hotel und haben es geliebt. Das Haus ist sehr historisch und mit sehr viel Liebe eingerichtet. Das zugehörige Restaurant Circa ist ebenfalls sehr speziell und das Essen ausgezeichnet. Die Angestellten waren sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Wir würden jederzeit wieder in dieses exzellente Hotel gehen. PS.: Man sieht regelmässig Kängurus, Hasen und jede Menge schöne Vögel.
