His Opinion: Le charme des murs plein d'Histoire, d'une merveilleuse esthètique chaque fois que l'on rentre dans le cloître, les salles, les couloirs, de grandes hauteurs de plafond et des volumes d'un autre temps dans les chambres, sans parler de l'accueil des hôtes, accueil personnalisé, qui font tout ce qui est possible pour un séjour mémorable.
On y est bien et on a envie d'y rester...pas comme dans un hotel.
