Beautiful location, perfect for relaxing holiday with beautiful views, very good breakfast. PS: having a car is necessary

Incredible accommodations and view.

This place is beautiful!!’ The pool was great, dinner was nice, although it did take a long time and the options were the same.
Vijanthi, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This was a gift to find a hotel with a generator during the major power outage. We enjoyed the breakfast selection! The views are spectacular, a must see!
Kimberley, 2-night trip

Great location and great hotel.
1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Not worth it

Outdated, bad food and not very nice. The terrace had a nice view but that was it. The hot tub area was depressing (no good view, didn’t feel much like a spa was basically a long swimming pool with jets) the deckchairs were uncomfortable. The long white dim corridors felt a little sad. For a 5 star spa hotel we expected much more. We ended up checking out early because it wasn’t for us. Far away from anything so be mindful there’s not much to do at the hotel. The spa treatments also were expensive for what they were. A shame really!
Kulvinder, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

After 24 hours of travel, the view to which we awakened did not disappoint in the slightest! Exquisite breakfast, easy, quick, delicious room service and a midnight swim in the indoor pool - all point to a return trip very very very soon!
Linda, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Not good value for money

We are paying almost EUR 200 per nights but I’m afraid the hotel doesn’t deserve that. It feels like a dated 4* hotel, rooms are basic, breakfast is stale and doesn’t have avo, salmon or a cook-to-order egg station. Most of the hotel looks and feels tired. Bathroom lock doesn’t work and phone in room also doesn’t work so had to call reception from my mobile. Staff are friendly, they gave us late check out which was nice. For a spa hotel, the massage was very average. I heard they are closing in October for renovations which makes sense, much needed.

Quite the drive to the property but once you’re there it is a 10/10
Sarah, 3-night trip

4/10 Fair

This hotel needs a major refresh & a new interior designer. Too stark and dated with the exception of the light fixtures, which were very cool! The bed & pillows are terrible! Like sinking into a hole. Massages were equally below standard! The whole place feels like an episode from Severance. However, the breakfast buffet and the view were excellent!
Dawn, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Everything was phenomenal! We had dinner at their restaurant and it was exquisite. The breakfast buffet is amazing as well. The views are spectacular!
Luz J, 3-night trip

Pam, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The facilities were dated and the area near the hotel had no other dining options. The staff was very courteous and helpful.
Karen, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Perfect location

We had a lovely stay in the hotel, lovely breakfast and food, but the star of the show is the location just perfect. We would definitely go back.
Gearoid, 1-night trip

Average hotel, above average pool

Really lovely infinity pool and view which is the most special part of the hotel. Mediocre food, okay ambiance that could be improved. Location is okay but far from all the wineries. Good price for a suite.

Great stay!

A lovely location and stay. Teresa at Reception was WONDERFUL! It is a bit of a twisty drive. Great parking. The breakfast goes far and beyond all others! Great balcony views. Room service was quick. All around wonderful!
2-night trip

8/10 Very good

This hotel sits on the river, and every room has a perfect river view. The dinner menu and service was really good especially since there are limited food options in the area. Hotel offers a beautiful infinity pool that overlooks the river, but a bit too cold for me. I would recommend this hotel.
Bobby, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Booked a stay for me and my wife as a routine escape and i didn't regret it. The most exquisite views and surroundings. The Staff were impecable. The only finger pointing I will do is some lack of maintenace. From almost broken doorknobs, elevator panels almost coming off, fissures on the walls and a hole outside on the floor at the outdoor pool leaves a sour taste to it, as it is a 5 star hotel. Nonetheless a great experience. Just be advised, the means of transport in the area are really scarse, and if you wish to have a nearby local dining experience you will be disappointed, as there are no nearby restaurants or even shops/supermarkets. Either you dine at the restaurant hotel, which you need previous reservation (1 Day prior) or you ask for room service, which is equally good. The bar offers lights meals as well. Also don't forget any type of necessaire, no shops or supermarkets in the area.
