Guest Review: Everything was lovely. Excellent healthy breakfast. Spa facilities are great.
Guest Review: Sat on a valley there is this beautiful and peaceful healing spa. Because we booked in low season most of the facilities were just for us. The Garden room was a small cottage with this amazing view to the side hill. The cleanliness is spot on. The bed, the pillows especially were to die for. I’m thinking of asking them the brand because as soon as I sat my head on them I fell asleep in minutes.
