Very relaxing property, with many beautiful outdoor areas to take advantage of. Incredible sunset and sunrises, infinity pool added to the beauty, though we didn't swim due to the time of year. We did take advantage of the heated spa and the new wood-fired sauna. Kitchen was very well stocked. Our family of 5 was very comfortable. Appreciated the extra effort made to welcome our pet. Thank you! Will stay again.
