Solicitous host Thomas knows a thing or two about guest comfort and the thoughtful extras here (powerpoints, disposable razors, real milk in the mini-fridge) make for a very comfortable stay. Rooms are pleasingly contemporary with a white-and-blond Scandinavian feel and modern showers. The family's quality artworks decorate the building and breakfast features fresh fruit and homemade breads and jams.
