Horriblw
Look elsewhere. This place is such a disappointment and at best, three star accomodation. Please take the time to look at other recommendations. I wish we did. It is hard to know where to begin. It was obviously once a great place that is now run on a shoestring budget. Only 1-2 people running the whole place. The buildings are poorly maintained and dilapidated. It feels as if the place has been left to rot and is in dire need of some investment. The rooms and bathrooms are dated and barely functional. For example, TVs are from 20 years ago and only have analogue channels. Water pressure is a trickle out of the shower. Rooms are barely stocked and feel dirty and used. Hardly what you expect from five star hotel. The grounds are poorly maintained and riddled with thistles and weeds. It almost feels dystopian walking around. It is such a shame. I travel a lot and stay at a lot of hotels and this place would have to be the worst. I wish I took some photos

Beautiful and enchanting! Wonderful experience all around! Highly recommend- you have to find a way to stay here. If we knew it was so nice, we would have stayed 2 nights but we already had paid reservations in another town for the next day. Breakfast included also.

Property looks like it was once very nice. Now pretty tired with very little atmosphere. After being disappointed by the very basic breakfast we decided not to dine here for dinner. Staff were friendly but it felt disorganized, restaurant was cold and room off restaurant is a store room. Nothing high end about this place

Elegant villa - running on a shoe string
Lovely villa in it's day.However, no management present , one person left to manage front desk and the few guests, cold breakfast cooked by a novice with 8 baked beans.No lifts for the 3 flights of stairs, no aircon, no fire safety drill or alarm as you are left alone overnight. Falsely advertised as luxury , I've been to better B&B. Shame it's not better managed and looked after as the building is beautiful. This is a 3 star bed and breakfast at best ,

Delightful stay
If I was on my honeymoon I would want to stay there. How can things be improved? You could upgrade your WiFi. We found it slow and so inadequate we couldn't use it. We were in room 5 and there was a faulty electrical wire or connection on the left side of the bed(when looking at it). Also the phone was faulty.

The only thing i found disheartening was if women were to get makeup on their towels there would be a $50 fee. They had makeup remover wipes but they didnt get rid of the makup. Lucky i had my own.

I find this hotel has the atmosphere of a Villa in Tacany superb Surroundings. Rooms were Warm how we a bit of chill coming through the French doors near balcony. Beds were very comfortable and the fireplace was just so appealing for a chilled time. Just disappointed with not knowing the pool was out of order before arrival however our experience was just lovely. We will come back each year to enjoy our down time here.

Everything was extremely amazing, only downside was the bed was too hard to get a good nights rest on and the shower kept changing temperature when (I assume) another guest used their bathroom.
