Pros:

We had a warm welcome when we arrived and then had a lovely dinner in the on-site restaurant. Breakfast the next morning was fantastic after which we enjoyed a walk on the farm between the olive trees and pomegranate trees. The room was lovely with everything we needed to make our stay enjoyable and we especially enjoyed the pomegranate juice that comes from the area. It is a beautiful guesthouse with beautiful and warm people that made our stay here very memorable. We would love to come back!

A relaxing and friendly spot to land for a night - wish I'd had more time to explore the area.
Pros:

I loved the peaceful feel of being at a farm - a grove of pecan trees to wander in, led by a friendly cat, and a little lemon tree just outside my room. The staff were all very friendly and accommodating. At the restaurant, I got the best pecan tart I ever ate. Pomegranate juice for breakfast!

Wonderful!
Pros:

Great accommodation. Not in main 4 room house but in single storey building. Deluxe, spacious rooms with individual outside large porch.
Wonderful restaurant!

Cons:

The main 4 room accommodation building is close to the main road. I would suggest the suites where we stayed closer to Reception. Just fabulous.
