Its interior is sumptuous and elegant, and its excellent cuisine (you have to taste the fish soup) is due to the chef owner. A garden, a bar and a lounge-library are at your disposal. As prices vary greatly depending on the period, it is highly recommended to consult the website. Also note: the rates are degressive from 2 nights and the establishment has half-board offers.
