A relaxed, rustic-meets-comfort vibe across 77 individually decorated guestrooms. Rooms feature private patios, separate sitting areas, safes and bathrooms with showers. Spend slow afternoons on the terrace or wandering the garden—daily housekeeping keeps things tidy.

Soak in the outdoor pool, unwind in the sauna and spa center, or fire up the barbecue area for a casual evening. On-site conveniences include gift shops/newsstands, a grocery/convenience store and free self-parking. Multilingual staff and laundry facilities are on hand to keep stays smooth.

A laid-back restaurant serves up local flavors and hearty meals. Finish the night with a drink at the bar/lounge or grab essentials from the convenience store for a picnic under the stars.
