Locals don't come here because they think it's expensive, but it's much cheaper than most European country houses. And for all that it isn't an actual castle, it is quite a special piece of architecture, it's been restored well, and the gardens and grounds are amazing. And in Europe, because such houses are older, they didn't have the ability to perch on top of a hill with such spectacular views. Absolutely recommend, though the cafe good choice is narrow. Excellent coffee though, plus Emerson's and various wine specials.
