"We had a lovely stay! The place was absolutely beautiful, with amazing views and a really relaxing atmosphere. It was a great spot to unwind and enjoy the surroundings.A few little extras would have made the stay even better — a couple more blankets would have been handy, and we would have appreciated a few more condiments in the kitchen. Shampoo and body wash provided would also have been a nice touch.Overall, though, we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend it. The views alone were amazing!"
