It’s a place designed for both business and leisure, with thoughtful spaces and quality amenities.

The estate features three luxurious Suites and two well-equipped studios, each with its own character. Whether you’re here for work or relaxation, you can expect comfort, privacy, and a warm welcome. Alexandra, your host, is happy to assist you and ensure an enjoyable stay.

Our private 2.5-hectare park is designed as a quiet escape for our guests. You can take a gentle walk along the paths, enjoy a picnic under the trees or simply sit and unwind in the natural surroundings. For an extra moment of peace, the greenhouse is open to guests — a cosy spot to read, reflect or enjoy a quiet retreat at any time of day.
