You are in a special place that reflects the elegance of other eras.
Warning: you may get a Stendhal rush when you enter your room. This is what happens if you are lucky enough to come across those beds with headboards that are a work of a master cabinetmaker. By the way, you can choose your pillow à la carte, because the aim here is to give you a good night's rest. And in the morning? What you smell as you approach the dining room is pure joy: a breakfast buffet full of goodies and so aesthetically perfect that you'll be embarrassed to grab that piece of fruit or get that ham and tomato for a nice slice of sourdough toast. It is the garden of delights.
