🕖 Book your tables in advance
During the high season (April to late October), we strongly recommend booking your tables, as local restaurants fill up very quickly. Keep in mind local hours
In our villages, kitchens often close earlier than in larger cities. To avoid disappointment, we suggest arriving for dinner a bit earlier.
Off-season stays
While many establishments close their doors during the quieter months, some remain open to welcome you! Simply take a moment to check their availability and book ahead to ensure a stress-free and relaxing stay.
