Grand old palace treated like you are a royal gues

This is a grand old (1800) palace built by a king as a hunting lodge in the middle of a lush forest. If you want to enjoy a grand magical stay with service that makes one feel like they stayed in a kings palace of long ago this is it! We absolutely loved it. Had dinner in the hotel,Excellant.

Rooms need desperate updates. The property itself is beautiful if you are just visiting. However, if you are staying a night you will run into issue of clogged tub, way out dated dryer and heater that omits weird smell
