Perfect place, great location
Pros:

amazing place, our room had a little terrace, so in the morning I went to the restaurant to look about breakfast and asked them if it would be ok to take it with me, to which they cordially agreed, we had breakfast at the terrace looking at the manicured grounds. Absolutely amazing.
