10/10 Excellent
"Probably the nicest hotel I have ever stayed in. The Villa Ciele room 422 was amazing with a fantastic view of the valley below, ocean inlet, Downtown Victoria 30 miles away and the United States across the sound. Beautiful gardens as well surrounding the villa. The restaurant was excellent as well for Breakfast, Brunch and dinner!"
