"Beautiful property and beautiful room! Very clean. Staff was great and it was wonderful getting breakfast served in our room every morning! Would definitely stay again. The only reason I didn’t give the property a full 5 star rating is because of something really minor, one morning during our breakfast delivery it came much earlier than we asked and the order was wrong, when the staff arrived he acknowledged all of this during delivery but given how expensive this property is and that...

The personal pool was perfect and the hospitality of the owner was great. The house itself is very beautifully decorated and located in a very quiet area.
