Walking distance to the town, little shops, restaurants and cafes. They do not do early check ins or late check outs. There’s continental breakfast and they give you pastry’s at your door after dinner.

This boutique stay with a quaint charm was way more than expected. We knew it got good ratings, but we literary were amazed at the charm of this place. The room we had was amazing, staff was incredible, and the restaurant had incredible food. Our bed was very comfortable and the room was spotless. It was a sweet surprise after our long day of travel. We will definitely be back.
