“The mansion's heritage and charm are palpable, with authentic interiors seamlessly adapted for a hotel experience and truly stunning public rooms, particularly the library. Guests found their rooms comfortably appointed, and the dining in the bistro, from breakfast to dinner, consistently impressed with quality ingredients and execution. Exploring the magnificent grounds, a highlight for many, offers a peaceful counterpoint to the opulent, inviting atmosphere within.”
