The Artist Grand Hotel of Art

10/10 Excellent
"Great location, ensure you take a walk for 10 mins and get into the old town. Do not miss out on some research on the best food (snacks and great restaurants). Parking is a few minutes away (not an issue) and the museum is opposite the hotel and we had a lovely view of it."
