What a beautiful establishment! And the most wonderful service anyone can ask for. My husband and I arrived very late and they were able to welcome us and even gave us an upgrade to the suite on the top floor. It was a beautiful room with a great balcony looking over the river. They were so attentive especially with reservations... More

We spent three nights here & very much enjoyed the experience. I would describe it as a sort of Western style ryokan, mainly because of the personal touch & the beautiful furnishings. The eclectic mix of lampshades, curtains & furniture resulted in a stunning effect. The staff were so helpful & gave us so much information. They made bookings for... More

The owner and her staff are the most gracious and helpful people we have met. The room was great, overlooking the little river. Amenities abound. The breakfasts were terrific with their homemade croissants, breads, jams, and yogurt!... More

The entire staff is attentive, helpful and always happy to take the time to answer any question. Every recommendation was a hit, whether for... More

I know our agent said you have to book early when bookings open, and, in our case this was November for a May booking the following year. The result was we had a beautiful room on the third floor and it was the second largest I... More
