Relaxing time in nature

Really enjoyed our stay, spent the afternoon relaxing in the spa, enjoyed a lovely dinner. We stayed in a Villa Room. It's a short walk from the main building.

Great facilities with some friendly staff and really bad noise isolation in the room.

Small hotel beautifully designed and offering great facilities. We enjoyed the breakfast, access to spa and the gym. These were the best parts of our stay.

The perfect place for a re-energizing weekend

It's, without a doubt, one of the most beautiful hotels I've ever been at. The decoration is super rich with details, but surprisingly well balanced, creating an almost magical atmosphere. Huge congratulations to the design/decoration team. The breakfast was magnificent, we've dinned twice at the Bistro and were very pleased with both the food and the service (and the quite interesting wine list). The room was quite big, with a very confortable bed. We are doomed to return to your company soon :)
