We did not stay in the main hotel, but the house next to it. Room was fine. Nice breakfast in the morning, with a restaurant attached. They have a pool, but the weather was cool and it was closed. It looked very nice. Read more

The hotel is well-maintained, beautifully landscaped and the food was wonderful. Probably one of our favorite dinners during our trip. The rooms are simple and basic, but the setting more than makes up for the basic rooms. We enjoyed sitting in the gazebo, sipping wine, and looking out at the amazing landscape. Read more
