Breakfast Delight

The breakfast menu was a true culinary journey! I ordered the avocado toast and sweet crepes, and the flavors were extraordinary. Each dish was generous and set the perfect tone for a day of exploration. The fresh orange juice was the cherry on top!

Comfortable Bedrooms

Our room was a true sanctuary! The bed was incredibly plush, and the pillows were divine, making it easy to drift off to sleep after long days. The included Nespresso machine was an added bonus, allowing for freshly brewed coffee at any time.
