Wonderful stay with amazing views

amazing viewswelcome treatwonderful optionsamazing views
I found the views from the estate amazing. Upon arrival, I received a cute treat of wine, cheese, and crackers! Breakfast offered wonderful options plus amazing views, very charmed. I could easily spend a whole day by the pool just admiring the landscape.
The room decor felt slightly dated. Perhaps a refresh could enhance the overall ambiance. The phone felt sticky. this did not significantly detract from my positive visit

wine tastingpool loungersbreakfast buffetpoor service
I stayed in the beautiful 1-bedroom villa. The complimentary wine tasting over lunch was enjoyable. The wines improved in recent years. I also found the pool loungers very comfy.
The breakfast buffet seemed more like a 3-star hotel. The service was quite poor during breakfast. It took a really long time to get coffees. I had to make repeated requests.
