Staying at this hotel was truly a magical experience. The building looks like a charming castle, full of character and history. It even has a secret garden where you can enjoy freshly brewed coffee and delicious cookies—or simply relax with a good book. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. If you’re looking for a quiet, peaceful place to stay, this hidden gem is the perfect escape.
