  : My husband had food poisoning the day before we were due to arrive. I texted the hotel immediately and said we were unable to travel the next day but hopefully the next. Had no response from the hotel. Arrived a day later therefore missing first night of two night stay. Charged for two nights, these health issues are unpredictable but Im sure they would not relish a sick guest vomiting on their premises. I understand the cancellation rules but some cases are unavoidable.

  : Lovely location. Rooms excellent. Staff friendly and helpful. Such a lovely place to spend a relaxing holiday. Love agroturismo meets chique accommodation with home produced fresh produce. Good for body and mind.

  : Loved the location, the stillness, the quiet. very peaceful.
  : I stayed in the secondary house away from the main house, absolutely beautiful setup but the room I got was definitely not the room they photographed. No view (as advertised) other than on to some power lines. Patio attached to the room was bare except for some loungers and right below the parking area where every guest walks past on noisy gravel pathway, not peaceful. There was also a very loud water pump of sorts which turned on every 15mins or so, right outside the window. Could that not have been installed further away?The pool area was nice enough and happy that I had it to myself, but the kitchen area is disorganised and messy, cupboards filled with books left behind by other guests, just thrown in, freezer iced over, some sad dirty ice trays in the bottom. For an agroturismo, its a pity they couldnt source locally produced things like bottled waters and bathroom toiletries, teas, snacks there is so much available from this island. The restaurant has a lovely atmosphere and beautiful view. I was, however, disappointed by the food. Very little in the way of vegetarian/vegan options and items available on the menu that are out of season and clearly from frozen (like the mushroom risotto I ordered which had slimy mushrooms). Again, for an agroturismo, they would do well to stick to local and in season produce.

  : Good location for touring around the area, near several castles, beaches, towns. We enjoyed just wondering around the old streets.

  : The place is very nice, clean and beautiful . Its a bit remote but if you are looking for an escape and not coming out of hotel so much its a good place.Pool facility is nice, and the self service bar is cool too, i would have appreciated if there was a bar that serves cocktails which wasn't there . Breakfast was decent and nice
  : Restaurant and food is a downside , the quality of the food is not anywhere close to the quality of the hotel location and other facilities of the hotel. Its restaurant is more expensive than restaurants outside which expected but its very very bland! I wouldn't eat it again after two days and we went out every night. Salads doesn't even have any sauce, u can only add olive oil and balsamic your self! Generally i give a 5 out of 10 to restaurant . The restaurant staff barely speak English, very nice and friendly people but speak no word of english which for this level of hotel is not good! Spa looks good but very busy, so book way in advance i couldn't get a spot in 5/6 days of stay( which I think was due to low number of hours that they had a masseuse, which is another downside when u book a hotel in this calm area)

  : Lovely isolated setting in the countryside. The room and bathroom were ok.
  : The restaurant was really poor. The food was sub-par with very strange options which mad for a confusing selection. Food was undercooked and vegetables were very basic. Veal was raw. Goats cheese salad was undressed and appeared as though straight from a salad bag. This was really disappointing given the high price of the food and the hotel. We even found a hair in our food. This was not acceptable for a hotel aiming to be 4-star and with a 4-5 star price tag.
