Stayed at the wing building. Calm, noiseless. Comfy beds with an extra bed for our girl. Clean and well kept. The castle is very interesting with several genres from 16th to 19th century. Breakfast was very good with stunning views from the second storey. The restaurant was competent, a fixed 3 course menu that was well matched with the recommended wines. Lots of sightseeing to be had in the surrounding countryside. A very enjoyable stay, well recommended.

Hotel itself is nice and pretty. But our experience was not that good. We booked a suit on hotel’s own website but only got a double room. Same amount was changed when we checked out and also a charge for extra bed.

I would gladly give this 6 stars, best hotel experience ever. Food was outstanding, service with that perfect balance of presence and privacy, and the atmosphere... Just wow! It felt like (and probably was) like living in an museum, a total and utterly beautiful stay! Thanks to the staff for making our days there so memorable!

Cannot say enough about how absolutely lovely this place is! Gorgeous rooms, fantastic hosts, delicious food. Wish we'd been able to stay longer, but next time we're in the neighborhood will definitely be back!

Dubbelt så många gäster än va de lovat vid bokning. Inte så bra planering av sällskapen i de olika rummen. Dålig uppmärksamhet vid servering av dricka.

Temple of Edfu

The Temple of Edfu is one of the best preserved ancient shrines in Egypt. It was built in the Ptolemaic Kingdom between 237 and 57 BC.

Edfu was one of several temples built during the Ptolemaic Kingdom, including the Dendera Temple complex, Esna, the Temple of Kom Ombo, and Philae. Its size reflects the relative prosperity of the time. The present temple initially consisted of a pillared hall, two transverse halls, and a barque sanctuary surrounded by chapels. The building was started during the reign of Ptolemy III Euergetes and completed in 57 BC under Ptolemy XII Auletes. It was built on the site of an earlier, smaller temple also dedicated to Horus, although the previous structure was oriented east–west rather than north–south as in the present site.
