The castle is beautiful and the guide was knowledgeable. They have an English speaking tour. This is very inexpensive and there is a cute cafe and souvenir shop.

Our guide, George, did a wonderful job for us! The castle tour was well worth the time and money. Even though it was raining, George made an effort to take us into the village which was very pretty.
