that protect a flower-filled garden courtyard, preserving a sense of tranquility rare in this
city. Its 51 rooms are French-countryside-pretty and reasonably spacious, but have no air-
conditioning. This romantic spot is deservedly popular, so book ahead. Reservations are
not accepted more than four months in advance; new openings become available on the
15th of each month (Db-€125-150 depending on size, extra bed-€20, no TVs in rooms,
