We were dumped here by our Back Roads tour. Our room was basic , University dorm standard, quite a way out of town. All meals were taken in another building about 400 metres away. The actual buildings in this refurbished monastery are very impressive and now part of a private university that teaches the Slow Cooking gourmet style of cuisine, including an amazing wine bank. Folk that wax eloquently about this hotel are rather taken by these latter attractions.
Do be aware that the property also has a full 5 star hotel not to be confused by the el cheapo hotel Back Roads provided on our 'luxury' tour.
