This was a beautiful property with extremely kind and friendly people working there! Great service and you are treated like family. The pool was a nice perk and the grounds were excellent with many places to sit and relax. Would not hesitate to return!

Breakfast servers stingy even with the minimal “buffet” offerings; they are also condescending and rude (for example, staff starting arguing with me that a clearly rotten peach they gave me was not rotten- all I wanted was a different peach. We left hungry each morning as it was literally easier to go somewhere else to get more food than to get staff to give sufficient helpings). Water on the premises is not potable. Hot water inadequate for more than a 5 minute shower. Toilet inadequately maintained (made nausea-inducing, very loud screeching noise for about 30 seconds after each flush). Room dirty (cockroaches, etc). Frequent electricity brownouts during our stay.

Zeer goede ontvangst door de manager/eigenaar. Dierenliefhebbers op en top! Fijne check-in gehad op de locatie en er werd meegelopen naar onze kamer. Die was voorzien van zeer comfortabele bedden, we hebben enorm goed geslapen. De accommodatie is erg landelijk gelegen, overal is de natuur om je heen. Direct naast de deur ligt een mooie wandelroute en op 15 minuten met de auto ben je in de stad. In de winter kunnen de kamers wel wat koud aan doen, maar er staan fijne kachels klaar om alles goed warm te houden. Ontbijten is ook een feest in een gezellige ruimte met open haard en heerlijke banken! Wij hebben genoten!

La struttura è inserita in un’oasi naturale, con tanti animali ed è veramente ben tenuta. Il personale è di una gentilezza strepitosa e molto disponibile e attento alle esigenze dei clienti. La colazione è abbondante e ricca dei prodotti locali (strepitose al mattino le melanzane grigliate). La consiglio

Lieu très agréable, en pleine campagne. Le cadre est très bien fleuri. La chambre est propre, très calme, la literie confortable. Bon petit déjeuner sous forme de buffet. Attention, pour y arriver, il faut un GPS, sinon c’est difficile à trouver.
