Loved most

  • Stunning location and beautiful grounds
  • Exceptional and friendly service
  • Excellent food and breakfast selection
  • Clean, spacious and well-furnished rooms
  • Relaxing, idyllic overall atmosphere

Worth knowing — No in-room fridge reported by some guests · Poor/no air ventilation or aircon in some rooms · Some rooms lack desirable views or feel less special · Cost/value concerns for a few guests · Minor service/food timing issues (e.g., tea temperature, toast timing) · Occasional kitchen noise audible from rooms

How guests scored the stay

  • Cleanliness10.0

    Consistently praised across reviews (described as 'immaculate', 'pulizia', 'hygiene'); guests repeatedly highlight clean rooms and well-maintained common areas.

  • Service10.0

    Highly praised: multiple mentions of helpful, friendly and 'meticulously efficient' staff and exceptional service; only occasional notes about needing extra training for some waiting staff.

  • Location10.0

    Repeatedly described as 'stunning', 'idyllic' and 'perfect setting' — location and grounds are a clear standout in many reviews.

  • Food and Beverage10.0

    Very strong positive sentiment: food described as excellent quality, great buffet selection, and meals rival Michelin-standard; only minor service/temperature issues mentioned by a few guests.

  • Overall Experience10.0

    Overwhelmingly positive overall sentiment — guests call it 'magical', 'blissful', 'perfect getaway' and many state they would return or already are planning another stay.

  • Value for Money9.0

    Generally perceived as delivering a premium experience, though a minority commented on cost (e.g., 'Cost!!', 'cheap rooms are not cheap') or not feeling certain room types matched the price.

  • Room Quality8.6

    Rooms described as spacious, well furnished and comfortable, but several guests noted issues: limited/no view from some rooms, lack of in-room fridge, kitchen noise audible in one case and ventilation concerns.

  • Amenities8.4

    Grounds and garden amenities are excellent, but some practical in-room amenities are missing or limited (no fridge reported, no/poor air-flow or aircon in places, one guest requested window screens).
