    The breakfast was excellent, although there was not enough fritata for everyone. I suspect some had gone back for seconds and we dined later in the morning. The room was large and attractively decorated. The vibe was comfy.

    The breakfast was exceptional - Kim made a terrific egg dish both of the mornings we were there. Loved the cozy living room with the fireplace. The cupola on the 4th floor was such an added treat - we watched the sunset with a bottle of wine. Room...
