The property was perfect. A lovely old building in the square. The room was stunning with the view over the square and to the church. The shuttered windows and small balcony was delightful. The room was huge and very tastefully decorated. The breakfast was delicious and we enjoyed people watching sat on the square as we ate our breakfast. The staff were very friendly and helpful. A place like this anywhere else in Europe would cost a lot more money! Heaven!

excellent location in historic place and nice modern interior nicely integrated in historic house . you don t expect that from the outside which is nice as well but very different - really well done. enjoyed specifically service and cleanness. special thanks to the receptionist which guided me to the great parking spot - very comfortable , secured 100m away from the hotel 👍 and many hotels can learn that you should not charge a second room while offering a parking spot ….

Everything is just ex excellent: welcoming, friendly and forthcoming staff, located in the heart of this beautiful city, great rooms, comfortable beds and super breakfast.

Elisabeth Germany

Reception staff were all friendly and helpful. When we reported that the air conditioning was noisey, they accepted there was a problem, and went out of their way help us get the windows open, so we didn't need the air conditioning. Also, the breakfast was great and the staff worked hard to make it so.
