Hidden behind a
high wall (with its own ATM) this new,
three-storey mansion is set in a mani-
cured garden with an amusingly over-
sized rockery-waterfall. Elegant corridors
mixing art-deco lamps and classically
designed high ceilings lead to 20 modern
rooms with satellite TV, computer, fridge
and kettle: even the cheapest is spacious.
Some staff speak English.
