The property is beautiful and rooms are lovely. Only thing that could have made the stay is breakfast options and keeping buffet options filled as many options were empty bowls. (Yogurt, fruit, granola) there was also very limited staff for breakfast hours.

The service and room fell short of expectations though the grounds are spectacular. The dining options are good, but not standout. The room had a musty smell and lacked control over temperature. The service was average. The grounds were gorgeous and the falconry was a fun and wonderful highlight of our stay.

Perfect bit of luxury

Simply beautiful and matched by excellent service from all staff members you encounter. We arrived late and welcomed with professionalism and warmth. Rooms, linens and fixtures fittings excellent. Bar and lounge just what you need after a long day. Leo knowledge and charm behind the cocktail bar second to none and the best negroni and setting in a very long time.
