HOME DESCRIPTION TOUR ROOMS & RATES ABOUT US DIRECTIONS APPLY/CONTACT EVENTS NEWS
"When I speak of writing, the image that comes first to my mind is not a novel, a poem, or a literary tradition; it is the person who shuts himself up in a room, sits down at a table, and alone, turns inward. Amid his shadows, he builds a new world with words."
