9.2/10 Wonderful! (376 reviews)

A lovely place to stay with amazing sunset’s & views. Would highly recommend for a short getaway & produced some amazing wine. If you’re looking for a quality stay with good food & wine it’s well worth the stay. Staff were very friendly & has an amazing pool area. While we were there in early July it was quite quiet & we were able to enjoy the pool with hardly anybody else there. Nice wine tasting as well!

Beautiful boutique property with views of the rolling hills! We were traveling with two children and the suite was comfortable for us all. Smaller pool but perfect for cooling off. Breakfast was lovely!
