The Metropol Hotel where we were staying was indeed deserving of the praise as the finest hotel in Luz. Its grand exterior, made of white marble, was a sight to behold, and the interior facilities and furnishings were all top-notch. The food and service provided left nothing to be desired.
Its location, slightly away from the city centre, also made it a perfect place for relaxation. There were always carriages waiting for the guests, making it convenient for sightseeing.
It had been a month since we started staying here.
The reddish-brown rooftops beyond the terrace, the red lantern lights illuminating the streets at night, and the distant sound of boat oars had all become familiar sights and sounds.
Now, this place felt like home.
No, it was more than that.
I experienced a feeling here that I had never felt even in my real home.
