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.
