“excellent choice if matching requirements”
The rooms are located at the upper floor of the Golf clubhouse of the L'Empereur golf course. Of course very convenient for golfers. Very quiet, 2 km from road/highway, very clean, and very spacious room. Well designed and comfortable. Parking easy and free.

“Perfect place to recharge your batteries”
We spent a few days at this hotel and enjoyed its tranquility and beauty, as well as its surroundings. The hotel is away from the noise of the city, perfect for getting some work done and relaxing. We stayed in a warm, very spacious, and spotlessly clean room. The whole facility is carefully maintained. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. We highly recommend it.
