Guests can access the nature reserve directly from the hotel for hiking through oak forests with wildflowers and birds.

The family-friendly restaurant serves Italian, Mediterranean, and European cuisines for brunch, lunch, dinner, and high tea, with many ingredients sourced from the hotel's own garden. Breakfast includes local specialities and fresh pastries, while dinner is served in the historical dining room with frescoed walls. The wine list features a good selection including organic wines, and the kitchen provides packed lunches for excursions.
