The staff were really friendly and helpful during our stay. The accommodation was spotless and beautifully decorated, making it a comfortable and enjoyable stay. The pool was a great feature, especially during the hot days. The food served at the hotel was absolutely delicious, definitely a highlight of our stay.
The road leading to the lodge was quite challenging to drive on, especially if you don't have a 4WD. The internet connection was almost non-existent, which was a bit frustrating.

The rooms were comfortable and cozy, and the communication before arrival was excellent. the location was quiet and peaceful, offering stunning views of the surrounding hills. One of the best aspects was the private delivery of pre-ordered meals, which surpassed expectations.
The food options were not consulted, and I would have preferred to have been able to choose. the road leading to the hotel was quite difficult to drive on, especially without a 4WD vehicle.
