Well-maintained rooms surround a lush, plant-filled courtyard at this pleasant inn, 400m
north of the church. Rooms are somewhat baroque-looking, outfitted with massive, hand-
crafted beds that lie somewhere on the design continuum between Louis XIV and African
safari. All have mini-fridge and cable TV; more expensive units come with Jacuzzis. Some
are wheelchair-accessible, and a few have air-conditioning.

gravel patio up front. It's 150m southeast of the church.
