Also, the environment of the Hotel with the splendid garden and the nature which unfolds before it. Each season, has its own beauty with its exclusive colours, perfumes and sounds. In the absolute quietness, you can enjoy the singing of birds and mostly, during springtime the melody of nightingales.
