Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.

The spa
An infrared sauna and a circular wooden hydrotherapy tub sit tucked away in the lower-ground wellness suite.
At the table
Local cheeses and fresh pastries fill the morning buffet, with tables set between the dining room and leafy courtyard.
