    A delightful garden retreat

    From the moment we arrived, the fragrant lavender and the cozy seating areas captivated us. Every evening, we enjoyed complimentary wine and cheese while relaxing in the beautiful gardens.

    Unfortunately, the street noise was bothersome at times, making it a bit challenging to fully rest during the night. Nevertheless, the charm of the inn made up for it.
