We had a delightful stay in the Garden Spa villa with lovely scenery and nature on your doorstep, a hidden gem offering a great place to unwind indoors and out. The room was very clean and cozy with a lush bed and relaxing spa bath. Generous, yummy fresh breakfast items also provided and appreciated. Host Rachel was super friendly and went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable, providing all the information needed right at our fingertips.
