This ancient farmstead-turned-luxury hotel maintains original stone walls and courtyards that serve as authentic backdrops, eliminating the need for heavy decoration. Guests experience genuine agrarian heritage rather than recreated period aesthetics.

  • 3-star accommodation with 24 rooms allows multi-day guest stays without external hotel coordination
