Oriental carpets, antique books, frescoes of French monuments and wall tapestries make this 54-room, family-run hotel a comfortable place to stay. Eclectic room styles are a mix of traditional and modern – some have been more recently renovated than others and it pays to check when booking. The friendliness of reception staff varies quite dramatically. Breakfast is pricey at €25.
