Could be spectacular but meh

The scenery is spectacular. It is a bit remote so accessing any other restaurants is not really an option. That leaves the dining experience at the property which was beyond overpriced and mediocre. This is coming from a New Yorker who works at a hotel property. I expect over priced and mediocre. A wine list that featured the same wines and vintages at 75 percent over what other resorts are charging. The service was inattentive (again not expecting much, but perhaps ask why my meal hasn't been touched in 20 minutes). The one night I ordered grappa, they measured a 1 oz pour table side. In a grappa glass which would only allow an extra 1/2 oz anyway. We spent 200 euro for 2 courses and a bottle of wine, you can skip the etched glassware for measuring pours. It Is Tacky. Floors need to be mopped in the rooms.

10/10 Excellent

We arrived around 8PM straight off a set of flights from SFO and were exhausted. We were welcomed into the bar, a beautiful, cozy room, given food and drink, and checked in there, since reception had closed. We ended up spending a couple hours chatting with another couple, the place promotes making friends. Throughout our stay the food was terrific, breakfast on the lawn above the pool was amazing, including eggs from the farm's own chickens. The service was very friendly. Antonio offered us a tour of the wine cellar, which is actually built into an ancient well and not to be missed. Gabriela, the bartender, made a very good negroni and stayed to chat, as staff often do here. The property is spread out over many acres of vineyards and over 100 fruit trees. Our building was the furthest from the central building and restaurant so it was very quiet. They provide a golf cart to get you around on the very rough and often unpaved roads of the estate but it is a bit hair-raising as the roads are bumpy and the staff drive very fast. We ended up just driving our own car around, which was slightly better, given the narrow, bumpy roads. We got lost repeatedly, but that was part of the fun as we always eventually got to the place we were going. Highly recommend this place for anyone who loves beauty, great food, and terrific people.

We received a very warm welcome and excellent service at this beautifully located hotel complex. The pool was wonderful and the estate a pleasure to walk around and see the produce growing. We then enjoyed eating it too. Breakfast was excellent and we felt hugely relaxed following our stay.
