26 Jun 2025
Absolutely wonderful stay: peaceful, welcoming, and relaxing. We had a perfect time here. The location is stunning and peaceful, ideal for rest and reconnecting with nature. The staff was incredibly kind and attentive, always ready to help with a smile. The breakfast was delicious: fresh, local products and plenty of variety. We especially loved the pool area: clean, calm, and surrounded by beautiful views. It was the perfect place to unwind after a long week. We’re already looking forward to coming back. Thank you for such a lovely experience!

The receptionist when we arrived was very welcoming and super helpful. The room setup was perfect for us - we had a twin and a double in its own separate area. Our room had a huge balcony overlooking the pool. The rooms were bright and airy. Breakfast and dinner were both good.
