This place is absolutely beautiful! The accommodations felt secluded, yet you are surrounded by stunning vineyards. The villas are modern and spacious, providing all the comforts you could need. The location is perfect for exploring nearby wineries, but it's a challenge to leave because the property is simply amazing. I wish I could have stayed longer!

This resort offered a lovely stay with spacious self-catering villas, perfect for a laid-back getaway among the vineyards. The check-in process was smooth and informative, with a local map provided. While the rooms were comfortable and well-equipped, I encountered some minor noise from maintenance activities. There's a great outdoor area for BBQs and relaxing, but be ready for a short trip to the nearest supermarket for shopping since there are no on-site dining options.
