Creamy neoclassical Levant sits high up with the gods at the top of a hill just below the Kaiser’s Throne peak. It has pastel-blue rooms, wooden floors, belle époque lights and balconies, and a general feeling of countryside charm. Rounding things off is a refined restaurant serving shrimp, risotto and stifadho (stew) on a terrace with sublime sunset views.
