Parks & Nature
It's a beautiful park with undulating hills and fantastic views of the city plus a cute walled garden with beautiful flowers, plants and trees.
It has a great Lido (not heated) if you are brave enough for a swim... but it also has a great cafe next to the pool (accessed to the right of the building) which does fab breakfasts, brunches and good dinners.
If you have kids it has a great park and a pond.
