All products are very carefully chosen so you can enjoy special luxurious dining in a musical atmosphere. In Spring and Autumn a chimney with a double fireplace warms the restaurant, and at the same time creates an intimate atmosphere. In each corner of the sitting-room, there are rare objects which have been collected by the owners. For breakfast, enjoy the charming inner courtyard setting or the restaurant.
