There’s a dark and edgy feel to this boutique hotel, housed inside a brick building dating back to the Middle Ages. Outside, wrought-iron gates adorn the facade, while inside are original arches, decorative paintings and vaulted ceilings. A low-lit brick staircase leads to the guest rooms, which feel comparatively modern – one of the suites has a bathroom that sits in a glass cube. Don’t miss regional wine tasting in the atmospheric cellar.
