LUXURIOUS OLD WORLD ROMANCE!!! More than met expectations. Loved all the finishing touches eg wafts of exquisite fragrance, beautiful tassels & ornaments. The lounge chairs were as comfortable as they were elaborate. We went to take our minds off troubling circumstances and were indeed transported to another time & place.

When i walk in i felt like a kid in a candy shop, i didn't know were to look first, i felt like a kid that had just been given the best gift, the house was so beautiful,warm,cosy,i just couldn't get the smile of my face, my husband was laughing at me. I didn't want to leave, i ask my husband to buy the house,it had every thing there, the kitchen was stock with all the food you needed, the port/chocolate was great,the bed you didn't want to get out. There was nothing you could have wanted for, maybe to stay longer. One thing i would say is to take a good book so you dont have to leave, well they have that to.Enjoy

With the hustle and bustle of life it is amazing to find a haven where you can totally unwind and refocus on the priorities in life. Vareena is a eutopia to escape to from life's stresses and to find yourself again. Once you step inside you are transported into another time to capture it's ambience and elegance of a period gone by. It is truely something to experience. We will definitely be returning!
