This graceful if somewhat basically furnished hotel offers airy, relaxing high-ceilinged rooms adorned with faux antique pieces. The singles have double beds and the very spacious deluxe doubles, costing just a fraction more than an ordinary room for two, are a quantum leap in comfort. There’s a sauna, cafe and restaurant.
