Breakfast was delicious and well presented. Lunch and dinner were equally good — Clara is a good cook! We walked the river path into town, very convenient. There aren’t many places you can stay that are this historically significant. We had a wonderful time.

Great location beside the river with a small village above. A lovely old house in which we were made feel very welcome. The breakfast was excellent too.

“Excellent location, value for money, authentic!”
The building is lovely, views superb, breakfast was basic but fresh and homemade. Cafe food was homemade as well but super delicious and practical. Clara was a superstar, thanks.

“A really nice view from the room. Great to go walking, exploring or to just relax.”
This is clean, simple accomodation with a great view and a nice host what more can you ask. Breakfast was ample. Great position uphill walk to town past interesing houses and the ruins of old buildings. Interesting walks around the area. Nice to look down on the river and see the wildlife. Great to have drinks on the terrace.

“Very enjoyable stay in exceptional location.”
Stunning location, huge room, spacious salon / diner with period furniture. Very welcoming and engaging Australian owner (who is also barman and chef) whose terrace bar is also enjoyed by loyal locals with much bilingual camaraderie.

“Magical location, unforgettable rooms overlooking river, lovely historical town, welcoming host Paul”
The location is magical overlooking the river. We arrived after a hot day's driving and Paul recommended a quiet spot to go for a swim in the river. Our room was very large and the sound of the river fills the air. We had drinks and dinner on the terrace and then walked into town (five minutes). If you like your stays to be in beautiful places full of history and character, this is a 10/10. We will definitely be back!

“Absolutely brilliant - we will be back”
The location is outstanding the view is amazing from the balcony. Breakfast fresh and well presented. Glass of wine on the terrace with some nibbles - very enjoyable. Although we didn't eat in the evenings, we were going to a party, the food looked fabulous. Paul, the hotelier, what a great guy, funny, helpful, informative - made the stay there most enjoyable.
