This friendly family-run hotel has two 'twin' properties on-site, joined by an Escheresque staircase. Each wing has its own character; the west wing is decorated with chandeliers, potted plants, painted rondellas and Persian carpets. There's a fire in winter, pool and sauna (US$30 per hour). The clearly beloved garden, complete with pavilions, is a sociable hang-out for visitors. Airport transfer (US$10) available.
