This frilly labyrinth of snug, 18th-century rooms (chock-a-block with antiques) and tiled, flower-filled courtyards in the shadow of the castle has its own wine cellar and billiards room. Rooms vary, but all offer standard midrange comforts, plus some nice antique touches such as the occasional four-poster bed.
