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.

Argos Theater

The ancient Argos Theater was built in 320 BC. and is located in Argos, Greece against Larissa Hill. Nearby from this site is Agora, Roman Odeon, and the Baths of Argos. The theater is one of the largest architectural developments in Greece and was renovated in ca 120 AD.

The Hellenistic theater at Argos is cut into the hillside of the Larisa, with 90 steps up a steep incline, forming a narrow rectilinear cavea. Among the largest theaters in Greece, it held about 20,000 spectators and is divided by two landings into three horizontal sections. Staircases further divide the cavea into four cunei, corresponding to the tribes of Argos A high wall was erected to prevent unauthorized access into the theatron and may have helped the acoustics, but it is said the sound quality is still very good today.

Around 120 CE, both theaters were renovated in the Roman style.
