Wonderful place and I would stay here again.
Pros:

The rooms and public areas were all beautiful, well maintained, and very clean. There were fabulous walking and hiking paths accessible right from the hotel property and there are beautiful gardens on the property itself. The staff were all helpful and gracious. Luxury surrounded by nature!

Cons:

Because the hotel is located in the countryside, there were no shops or conveniences within reasonable walking distance. While a taxi for an excursion to a village is fine, it would be nice to have a small guest shop within the hotel for items like toiletries, minor first aide, or small snacks.
