A minute on the estate
The trails, the horses and the sea on the horizon: the estate in just over a minute.
The video loads from YouTube only when you press play. You can also watch it on YouTube.
Each with its own outdoor space
Rooms scattered across the estate and a poolside studio, with air conditioning, private bathroom and wi-fi.
Evenings under the trees
We chose lemon for its noble acidity, wild mint for its balsamic soul, basil for its scent of home.
Open in the evening from 19:00 to 23:00, closed on Tuesdays. In July and August we are open every day.

Picturesque venue. Amazing stay!
Nestled among olive, lemon and persimmon trees, totally rustic, and it had horses, super cute cats and chickens. (To be clear, I invited the cats into the bedroom as they were super friendly and playful). Friendly staff! Great food!
Super obsługa, dobra restauracja z klimatyczną muzyką. Czuje się sielankową włoską atmosferę.
Atmosfera, położenie miejsca, uprzejmość ludzi, basen i... swobodnie biegające konie :)

Heerlijk genieten op een sfeervolle plek.
Sfeervol, ruim terrein, heerlijk eten, fijne kamer met uitzicht. Voelde heel erg prive. Hele goede uitvalsbasis om omgeving te verkennen.

Het is een prachtig terrein met een heerlijk zwembad. Je hebt wel een huurauto nodig om bij plekken te komen. Het was goed onderhouden en werd iedere dag goed schoongemaakt. Het ontbijt is prima. Aanrader!
