About

Owing to comprehensive renovation and extension work carried out in 2013/14, this youth hostel is a favourite with hikers, cyclists, horse riders, culture vultures, language students, families and school classes alike. The former orphanage boasts a beautiful garden where willows and chestnut trees reach towards the skies, a bright and airy dining room, modern, functional rooms and a barrier-free wooden pavilion. Unforgettable experiences are guaranteed thanks to the very well-maintained Roman amphitheatre, which is within easy walking distance, the ruins of the former Roman town, pleasure hikes through the vineyards, fun in the sun in one of the nearby stretches of water.

Very high quality hostel. Breakfast is particularly good with a reasonable selection, tastefully presented. Staff are friendly and respectful. Would recommend and will stay again in the future. Would advise future stayers to check in at the 9pm time at the latest to make it easy to settle into your dorm without disturbing others.
