Only here for one night. It was a lovely stay. Friendly staff, easy check in, room with comfortable bed, clean and included a bottle of wine. Lovely courtyard. Room was quiet and cool. Wine and cheese reception was a nice touch. While my husband was resting in the room I sat outside and read and drank wine-plenty of outdoor shaded seating.
