This was a beautiful old hotel which was once a high school. Very convenient location - easy (uphill) walk to the castle and easy (downhill) walk to shops and restaurants in the town. Friendly staff and good breakfast and dinner. The only downfall was the elevator system which did not help us much on the second floor. Understandable considering the age of the building. Parking was very safe and convenient in the protected courtyard.
