French translation: qui serpentent

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)

English term or phrase: winding
C'est la description d'un hôtel de caractère situé dans un bâtiment ancien.

"it is a traditionnal house with *winding* corridors, differently allocated with cosy ambiance"

Je cherche un terme plus accueillant que "sinueux". Sinueux évoque pour moi le mal au coeur en voiture sur une route sinueuse de montagne, et pas une construction ancienne et à l'aménagement atypique et tarabiscotée.
Vos idées sont bienvenues !

Asker: Merci. J'y ai pensé en effet mais il y a une notion de pénibilité il me semble, non ? Ou c'est juste une idée que je me fais ?
