A few quiet things worth knowing
How the stay tends to unfold.
Getting there
A rental car tends to make the stay feel easier — taxis exist, but the freedom to head out late in the afternoon makes a difference.
The pace
The days tend to unfold gently. Few guests leave wishing they'd planned more.
The rhythm
Three nights tends to feel better than two. The second day is usually when it lands.
