For 3 nights, we and another couple stayed at Chateau Grattequina in the suites with the stone terraces overlooking the river. It was heavenly. As my travel companion remarked, “After seeing so many chateaux, it’s nice to be staying in one.” The owner even gave us a ride into town on his speed boat!
