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!

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!
