It was gorgeous and charming. The bed and couch were super comfortable. Real milk was provided for tea. We were blown away but how good it was. The on site restaurant was also incredible.

Me encantó! Volvería!
Pros:

Nos encantó la habitación. Lo primero que notamos es lo limpia que estaba, tanto la habitación como el baño parecían nuevos. Se nota que recientemente habían hecho una renovación y todo funcionaba muy bien. Además, la cama era muy cómoda. La vista de la habitación era muy bonita. La ubicación muy buena y cerca de los viñedos que quisimos visitar. Nos encantaría volver!

Cons:

El desayuno podría haber sido más grande, aunque estaba bien para el precio que pagamos.

We enjoyed it immensely.
Pros:

The unit had everything in it we needed and so comfortable - bed so comfy, couches, blankets fireplace for cold nights. Everything spotless too. Location quiet but beautiful bell birds in the morning. Next door to the fabulous restaurant Pescara - easy for our first night.
