This is a fortress from 1682 that has been renovated recently. They have been able to tastefully combine the old elements with modern touches. The rooms are incredible. There is even a Turkish bath in the room. The balcony of our room overlooked the infinity pool and had beautiful scenery. Restaurant is another amazing place - a natural cave. It is incredibly beautiful. Breakfast was delicious with high quality products. Service was top all around. It is a unique place and we highly recommend it. Only about 9 min car ride to Sassi (the historic old town).

Magnífico

Simplesmente perfeito, um antigo mosteiro do século 17 reformado unificando o passado e o presente. Decoração agradável, muito intimista e confortável. Longe do centro histórico, mas estávamos de carro e isso não foi problema algum.
