"We loved that the villa is quiet and there’s only a few suites. Really felt like we had the entire place to ourselves. We loved our private terrace and having breakfast there everyday. Staff was helpful with coordinating transport and activities. One thing to note, there are a lot of stairs and you need to walk up or down to get to the property. However, the villa organized porter service for our bags. Gorgeous views. Loved our stay."
