The seasonal outdoor pool and the terrace and garden spaces give you somewhere to unwind between excursions, while the free breakfast helps you start early without having to plan your first meal. If you like getting around under your own steam, free bicycles nearby and the nearby hiking and biking trails make it easy to turn a morning coffee into an active outing.
