    “Beautiful property located a very short walk from the Three Sisters (which I recommend to see at night as they are uplift). We loved the nicely styled bedroom and the modern Asian restaurant on the facility. We also loved having cocktails in the elegant lounge area, heated pool (lounging in robes and slippers) and gorgeous gardens.”

  • Fantastisk ophold!
