In the evening, the garden bar is your go-to spot to grab a refreshing drink and soak up the calm atmosphere before the town comes alive.
Pools and Spa

Because you're situated right next to the historic centre, your evening entertainment is already sorted with live music, street performers, and vibrant bars all within easy reach of the hotel entrance.
