- "Beautiful" - "My husband and I stayed here for 2 nights to kick off our honeymoon and were absolutely blown away in every way- it is a gorgeous property with a vibe that instantly relaxes the nervous system. I had the best massage of my life while I was there and we have not stopped talking about how delicious the food was since we left. Our room was perfect and the staff went way out of their way to make it special for us, including writing sweet messages for us to come home to after dinner."

- "This is a lovely, quiet spot with clean, spacious rooms and a pretty garden that was excellent for our little boy to run around in. He played on the little playground and swam in the pool and it was perfect! Phillipe was always on hand to assist if we needed anything too. We really enjoyed our stay!" - "Fantastic host, most welcoming, the whole villa was amazing" - "The room was very nice and and clean. Very comfortable bed. Great pool. The garden is beautiful and super well taken care of. The possibility of using the shared kitchen, even just for keeping fruit in the fridge, was great. Super quiet place, where you can hear nature's sounds. The owner is always available and is nice and very affable and helpful."
