疲れた心と身体を癒すには最高のホテルです。２日目はアーユルヴェーダのトリートメントだけだったのですが、午後のトリートメントが終わるまでお部屋を使わせてくれたり、おなかをこわしていたのですが、レストランの人がシナモンのお粥とフルーツを出してくれたり心温まる対応で、安心して滞在することができました。 ドクターのカウンセリングも素晴らしく、的確にそして簡潔にクライアントの状態を見極めて最適なトリートメントを提案してくれます。決して安くはないですが、それだけの価値は感じられるホテルです。

周りにお店も何にもありませんが、コテージにいると体も心も癒されました。今回は、仕事で滞在したため、アーユルヴェーダプログラムは使用できませんでした。次回は是非、やってみたいと思いました。
