Fab.

8.0

Fab location, Breakfast room overlooks gum trees and olive farm. Beautiful. Great to return to. Glad it still has the high standards of The Empre Retreat days.

Room is a bit underlit. Pedal bin was broken and not replaced.

A beautiful experience start til finish

10.0

We were greeted with so much warmth upon arrival at reception. Our villa was immaculate, spacious yet cosy, private, beautiful view and very comfy. Very reasonably priced for what felt luxury. We will be back to stay and make the most of the day spa next time :)
