A fantastic and quiet place with great service and an excellent restaurant. The desserts were a fiesta for the mouth — we already want to come back.

We celebrated our anniversary here and it was everything we dreamed of. Private, peaceful and stunningly beautiful. The restaurant dinner under the stars was unforgettable.

The perfect escape from city life. Waking up to views of the lake and mountains every morning, olive groves all around — you genuinely don't want to leave.

We booked the whole estate for a family reunion. From the welcome to the farewell, every detail was taken care of. The chef's tasting menu on the last night was a highlight for everyone.
