I had someone smoking next door to my room and couldn’t leave my door open to get air. It also smelled like sewage in my room. I felt the staff weren’t super friendly or helpful. Not worth the money for sure. They charge 7€50 for room service but it’s not very good and I’m small print.

Average hotel, above average pool
Really lovely infinity pool and view which is the most special part of the hotel. Mediocre food, okay ambiance that could be improved. Location is okay but far from all the wineries. Good price for a suite.

The view was gorgeous. Not much in the vicinity as far as restaurants and things to do. It takes like 25 minutes to get to a major road. Dinner was okay, the limited menu did not change in 3 nights. Surprisingly moderately priced given not much alternative and the high level of service.

Nice Hotel but not 5 stars
Nice Hotel but not 5 stars….. only 5 star room was the suite but price per night is quite expensive for what you get. Pool is great and the view! Balcony/patio nice in the suite…. But the double deluxe room does not have balcony and the double deluxe premium room has a patio but big wall at the end and you can’t see the view, best to go for a normal double room with good view or a suite. Breakfast was a good big variety! Reception staff very good and helpful! Decoration for birthday in the room was lovely!

4/10 Fair

El servicio del spa estaba muy limitado en los horarios para los masajes. Deberian tener mas flexibilidad de horarios. El shower tenia problemas para drenar el agua. Nos cambiaron la habitacion al otro dia. Teniamos incluido una botella de vino por cada dia y solo la recibimos el primer dia. Sinceramente, para el dinero que mi esposo y yo pagamos por 2 noches en el hotel, no era lo que esperabamos

Delightful three night stay
We stayed three nights and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Our room was on the 8th floor and was more a suite than a room. It comprised a king size bed, large couch, table for two and a bathroom. This room also had the added benefit of a private terrace/garden with river views. Quality of fitout was of a high standard and also included were robes and slippers. Additional facilities included in the room rate were three pools (and outdoor horizon pool, an indoor swimming pool and an indoor spa), sauna, steam room and a tennis court. In terms of dining there is a pool bar, another bar and a restaurant as well as room service. We ate at all four areas and the food was consistently good as was the service. We also had breakfast each day in the restaurant which had a good range of food and drink. The staff were exceptional and friendly and made our stay enjoyable. Overall an amazing stay.

Views are beautiful!!! My recommendation to property: fix the elevators. A lot of the elevator buttons don’t work. Saw multiple people confused about the elevator because some buttons don’t light up. One of my pillows had a yellow stain on it. It was clean but the stain was unpleasant. Discard it if bleach does not remove a stain. The service at breakfast could be improved upon. They were out of a lot of items. Also, there was a massive line to get coffee. If it takes so long to get a cappuccino/latte, why not have servers offer coffee to guests instead of making that self serve as well? I actually don’t think I’ve ever gone anywhere where I had to get my on coffee during breakfast…. They were also out of coffee cups….

The hotel is nice and tranquil. The staff were nice, but serious. They were helpful when needed. The hotel facilities need some of TLC, but our suite was nice. The spa facility is outdated and not up to standard. Don’t expect much Warning: all must wear a head cap if going into any pool. The massage was good and relaxing. Restaurant and food were good. Overall good experience.

Grand property with spectacular views. Modern design. Free garage parking. Spa didn’t meet expectations, but otherwise facilities are great for a relaxing trip to the wine country. Be prepared to navigate twisty roads to get there and move around the wine country. A lot of fun if you enjoy spirited driving.
