Beautiful reception venue, extremely large and welcoming room. The exterior is practical, with a beautiful terrace. The managers are approachable, very available, attentive, and unfailingly discreet. The service is impeccable. Large outdoor area that can accommodate several tents for sleeping, a little extra. An incredible reception venue surrounded by nature.
