History
The hotel comprises three buildings perpendicular to one another defining a small courtyard. The southern wing is pierced, at ground level, by a wide corridor giving access to the courtyard. A single storey crowns this passage. The northern wing is accompanied, at its south-east corner, by a cylindrical turret in corbel, carried by a corbel decorated with a carved trumpet stone. A wooden staircase occupies the northern third of the western wing.
