Climb 200-year-old stone stairs to your spacious room in this regal 18th-century abode. The place has an almost-medieval feel, with antique furniture, stuffed eagles and a maze of corridors. In the lobby, MC Escher sketches hang next to a case of ancient pottery and plush leather sofas. The rooms on the top floor are quieter. Wi-fi struggles.
