Fantastic location, I only stayed outside during a LinaEvents photography workshop, but I will definitely come back. Very beautiful gardens with palm trees, huge lawn for dogs to run and pool combined with the flair of a castle.

We attended a wedding reception held in this castle. The vastness of the park is incredible with centuries-old trees and many flowers, all very well looked after. A beautiful experience. The aperitif in the park and lunch in the internal courtyard of the castle. It is a private residence so the bad reviews seem out of place to me.....because you can't visit.....

The church has been modified both internally and externally several times, among other things after the fires in 1699 and 1889. There are lot of well-preserved mural paintings in the walls.
