I loved the room . But upon arrival a few things did not work . The fire pit , we drink lots of water & where not sure if the faucet water was safe. It was warm and we must have e asked for at least 5 buckets of I e over our stay and tipped $20 & $10 each time for just ice . Phone was not working first day so could not order in. And the very efficient house keeping rang door bell and Ben with do not disturb. We attended a beautiful wedding & that was gorgeous and over the top . I love the hotel but will come prepared with water & snacks for my next stay . Registration staff where polite and well mannered . Overall it was great , just a few glitches . The drivers where a bonus . Great conversation & very accommodating. I would add some can versions of more inexpensive wine like Sofia Sparkling Wine . Better signage for the trails . A TV for dummies system for streaming your own channels . Beautiful place , felt like Tuscany . I do love the place

There were just a couple of little things that kept us from giving 5 stars, the toilet paper roll kept coming off, the shower door would close on you. We had an issue with our blinds, but the maintenance staff came right up to fix it. It’s a great location, within walking distance to everywhere.
