- "Absolutely everything, this place has a real soul, every detail is flawless. Beautiful place, delicious food, outstanding service and hospitality, wonderful people running this oasis" - "Conversas is truly a dream. I couldn’t have conceived of a more beautiful place to spend a few days away. A rustic farmhouse commune by day turns to a romantic fairy-lit magical forest at night. The facilities are beautifully composed and artfully designed, from the garden whose produce is found integrated into each meal, to the green areas which gladly welcome visits from finches, rabbits and gentle wildlife, and the bountiful orange trees that provided our breakfast juices - each detail serves a dual purpose, contributing in equal measure to both the aesthetic and experience of the space. The service was preternaturally attentive - the team picked up on my partner’s preference for orange juice, and my lactose intolerance without either of us having to say a word. These leanings were then seamlessly incorporated into our daily offerings at mealtimes. Our room, No Clock, embodied its name aptly. We completely lost track of time within the space, and really enjoyed our loft bed, which placed us at eye level with the birds flitting outside our window in the mornings. All in all our time at Conversas entirely exceeded our expectations. I’m usually one for always looking forward, and trying something (or somewhere) new, but in this case, I can’t wait to go back."
