Doporučujeme
Pros:

Hodnotím náš druhý pobyt této vile - napoprvé se nám líbilo, zvolili jsme je tedy jako jistotu i podruhé. Plně jsme využili bazén i billiardový stůl, super zpestření našeho pobytu s dětmi. Pokoje čisté, postele pohodlné, personál příjemný, snídaně velká a dobrá. Doporučujeme!

Un très beau cadre et un service exceptionnel
Pros:

L’accueil de cette établissement est parfait ! Les employés sont aux petits soins. Par exemple, je suis allé faire une petite baignade dans la piscine, qui est très agréable, et une personne est venue m’apporter une serviette. Ensuite le soir, j’ai demandé s’il pouvait me faire chauffer mon dîner que j’avais pris a emporter et ils m’ont fait des hopper en plus ! On est accueilli avec un cocktail de bienvenue et des petites serviettes rafraîchissantes. Le hall de l’hôtel est vraiment très beau et en plus il y a un billard ce qui est très agréable. Les chambres sont très confortables. Le petit déjeuner est sur mesure et très très copieur ! Ils ont même proposé à Mon Fils de faire le petit déjeuner emporter car il n’aiment pas manger le matin. Ils sont vraiment adorables.

Cons:

Les chambres un peu petites et pas beaucoup de prise pour brancher ses chargeurs

Lovely staff but busy location.
Pros:

Very friendly owners - always happy or help

Cons:

Next to a busy main road - the pool is literally next to the road. The bathroom had a leak which meant the floor was always wet

Pros:

Great place and a bit hidden gem. Location with good reach between Ella and the safari parks south. We only stayed one night but could easily enjoyed more overstay. Fantastic pool as well to relax and have fun.
