Pros:

Die Lage, die Aussicht, die Architektur und das Frühstück

Cons:

Das Wasser blieb in der Dusche stehen. Die Zimmer sind akustisch nicht gut getrennt und deswegen sehr hellhörig

It was (almost) worth the price for the views
Pros:

The view is really incredible, and the wine cellar tours were easily arranged and very interesting. The pool looks great for the warmer weather

Cons:

The service. If you book the option with dinner, you are expected to drive down the hill to reach the restaurant of the hotel (for an okay dinner). In a vineyard based hotel, promoting wine, it was an absurd idea that we are either expected to drink and drive or hike up for 20 minutes after dinner. But it looks like the staff offers individual buggy rides to guests if they offer to tip. For a high end hotel, why not have a small shuttle? There are more small things, like when we asked for an ashtray in our balcony we were told to go (down, again) to the restaurant to pick one up. Overall left a bad feeling.

Best Place I have ever stayed!
Pros:

Amazing property with views that are breathtaking. Staff was very friendly. Breakfast and Dinner were both provided in the price and both were fantastic. Winery was beautiful and the wines were great. I would highly recommend this resort.

Cons:

The resort is on the side of a tall hill and the roads were pretty narrow getting up and down.

Pros:

Amazing location, beautiful rooms and stunning view, great breakfast

Cons:

There are 2 options for eating, the restaurant at the bottom of the property and the snack bar close to the reception.

The restaurant dishes portion were very small, we ordered 6 different dishes and all of them were not tasty at all, the prices are high and too bad the dishes were not worth the price.

The snack bar close to the reception is more than a snack bar, it has everything that you need.
