Perfect place for a romantic getaway or to unwind.

We stayed here in march 2023 and it was fantastic. The staff was super nice and flexible, the room was great and the food was amazing (our waiter, Célestin, suggested we had the Tilapia fish with potatoes according to a local recipe). It's the perfect place to rest and unwind. Definitely worth it!
