We had a fantastic stay. Noel and Michelle ensured my birthday celebrations were fantastic. The grounds are clean, well kept and exceptionally beautiful. Noel is especially funny and our wine tasting with him was fun and enjoyable. Thank you all for a lovely stay!

Amazing stay at La Villa Retreat. So gutted we had only booked for one night as we had to move onto the next place. The grounds, the accommodation, and the service was incredible. We will certainly be booking again!

We loved our stay at La Villa Retreat! Everything from the way we were greeted with a wine tasting our first night, to the beautiful grounds, to our well appointed room, to the lovely breakfasts made it a great stay. One cool night we requested that the staff light the fire in our fireplace so it would be warm when we returned. Returning after dinner to a room lit by the fireplace was just delightful. If it wasn't so far away, we'd happily return often for a couple's getaway!

Stayed here for 3 nights and really enjoyed it! It’s super close to the town and for the wine tram, it’s advised to get an Uber at night however as it’s down quite a dark track road. The fireplace in our room was a lovely extra and the grounds are stunning :)

Nice accommodation but poorly designed room bath that was far too big and just in a silly place. Toilet in a cubby hole with minimal privacy and poor design for lights at night meaning limited sleep. It’s a shame as the grounds staff and facilities were great!

Equipe fantástica, ótimo custo-benefício, próximo à estação do wine tram - 15 minutos andando. Se você precisa de acessibilidade, vale frisar nos pedidos especiais (nós ficamos em um quarto com escada caracol). Voltaremos, sem dúvidas!

Fomos muito bem recebidos pela equipe, incluindo uma degustação de 4 rótulos de vinhos com tábua de queijos grande de brinde. Os quartos são muito bem decorados e espaçosos, com várias comodidades como banheira e chuveiro separados e lareira. A propriedade é muito aconchegante. O café da manhã é bem completo e gostoso, só foi um pouco lento para os pedidos de café.
