Beautiful property with plants everywhere. A place to relax and chill amongst butterflies and plants! Staff and kind and attentive. Management respond to any issues (our frying pan needed replacing and they did after I fed it back. Breakfast has a good variety. The restaurant is nothing massively remarkable but a great thing to have close by as there are not many other places to eat in the area within walking distance.

After reading previous reviews, I made sure to book a newly renovated room in hopes of having a more comfortable bed than previous guests described. Unfortunately, our bed was very hard and did not allow for a restful night of sleep. The gardens are beautiful, staff was kind, and the room was tastefully decorated.

Like staying at your aunts house

Lovely gardens sine of the rooms seemed like they might be from the 1970s which is quaint staff was friendly and minimal our cottage room had no fan and minimal lights it was a interesting experience felt very much like living here 40/50 years ago. The ground are extensive lovely gardens the restaurant food was really good just prepare to wait as three staff are serving but again super friendly and food was great ! Just add fans to the old cottages and maybe upgrade the electrical a bit and it’s a nice stopover … the sound of the birds alone is a reason to stay magical but not luxury

The location of the hotel is absolutely beautiful. The views of the surronding mountains and gardens all over the property really make you feel part of nature. The lobby, outdoor pools, and walkways are well kept and clean. The parking lot is direcrly across the road and private which is great. Westward up the main road is a great resturant for dinner. Only concern is that the smaller 1 room villas are in much older condition compared to some of the other stay options on the property. They have everything you need, but there is lots of evidence of wear. The larger multiroom villas on the north west side of the property seem much newer.

We travelled in the off season (early March) and really enjoyed our stay. Our room had a garden view and it was perfect. We strolled through every pathway in the property and for a flower/garden/rose lover it would be absolutely amazing in the summer when everything is in bloom. Our check-in greeting and encounters with staff were always polite and cheerful and breakfast was perfect every morning. We would happily stay here again.

Beautiful gardens and surroundings, but very cold inside the villa. The kitchen was well-equipped with dishes and cutlery, but no salt, coffee, tea, etc. Not at all what I was expecting from a 4-star hotel. Overall, it was not good value for money.

The beautiful flowers and plants in the facility were wonderful! Going for a swim in the pool near the reception was amazing, especially against the mountainous backdrop. The rotation is also gorgeous and worth checking out! Starting here was like staying at a beautiful nature museum. The two reception staff who served us were extremely helpful and friendly. They allowed us to check out one hour later than usual and invited us to continue using their facilities and amenities after checkout!

Pleasant and rather rural feel

Nice garden and a fully equipped bungalow, perfect for a family holiday. It has a pleasant and rural feel. Though some of the towels did not look properly washed and the hand soap was diluted. Better to bring your own.
