Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers charming rooms with an authentic bathroom that exudes the old charm of the wine estate. The bedrooms provide a beautiful view, and the housekeeping service is friendly. However, the dining experience with cold buffet dishes was a bit underwhelming. The location in the mountains to the East is serene but may require a short drive to reach amenities. Overall, a cozy stay with lovely views and friendly service.
Staying at this hotel was like stepping into a charming wine estate with beautiful views and authentic bathrooms. The housekeeping was friendly and attentive, adding to the authentic vibe of the room. However, the hillside location might require a costly taxi ride for city commutes, especially with ongoing castle renovations.
I enjoyed my stay at the wine estate with its old charm. The bedroom offered a beautiful view, and the housekeeping staff was friendly. The authentic bathroom added to the lovely atmosphere. However, the stay was a bit pricey and the value for money could be better.
