the apartment space felt spacious. i enjoyed the outside terrace with all its lovely scenery. it proved a nice little touch. i also greatly appreciated the room service from the restaurant with SUPERB local meats. breakfast was ordered to the luxury of our own dining table and everything felt idyllic.
the hot tub was in a mouldy area , and this was slightly DISAPPOINTING.

the staff were friendly and helpful . the owner came and chatted, this was a nice touch. the food was really good and reasonably priced for the area.
I felt the pool area needed more attention. It seemed a little dirty. the windows in the dining room had dirty fingerprints. the compost bin near the garden smelled, which wasn't nice when dining outside.
