- "Very friendly helpful staff. Couldn’t do enough for us.. The property is beautifully located in the hills of Santa Margherita so you would need a car to get around. The property does offer a shuttle service but only at certain times of the day. There is a restaurant on site which served amazing food. I would say tho it could provide a more lighter option for say lunch.. We did speak to the restaurant manager about the menu and we suggested platters of cold meats and cheese. Our last night the manager said he could do this for us and it was amazing.. We left feeling totally relaxed.."
