“Fantastic, easy entrance, parking available at the door. Beautiful property.”
The location was great. We didn't need to walk to any wineries as we booked a wine tour. The Villa was fantastic. We asked for all the beds to be made into king singles as we were a group of 9 ladies. And they were. Not a problem. Plenty of bath towels and pillows. Beds were comfortable and clean. The cottage were our three younger relatives stayed was fantastic as well. Beds made into King singles. We would definitely stay here again.
