The menu evolves with the seasons and uses local produce from strong ties with regional producers. Breakfast includes homemade jams, local cheese, and gluten-free bread upon request, and dinner can be taken on the furnished terrace.
Wellness
The hotel's spa is available on reservation for a one-hour session at an extra cost and offers a hammam, sauna, and body treatments. The facility accommodates guests seeking relaxation and wellness treatments after a day of exploration. This spa focuses on physical recovery rather than general atmosphere.
