Find Comfort in a Personalised Treatment Plan

The cuisine is prepared by a professional chef and enjoyed around a communal table or at the café with fine coffee and fresh pastries. Guests can relax with spa treatments, time in the gym or pool, or in quiet moments on the river deck or in tranquil gardens.
