Fodor's Expert Review Landa

If you've ever dreamed of holing up in a luxurious castle, consider booking a room at Landa, a converted 14th-century palace some 5 km (3 miles) from the city center surrounded by lush gardens. Most of the rooms are suites with whirlpool baths and sitting areas, and the lobby is fit for a king with stone walls, marble columns, and a curved stone stairway with gargoyles. The icing on the cake is a luxurious swimming pool where you can do laps under the castle eaves alongside a fireplace.
