Beautifully maintained property, excellent staff and service. Organic herb gardens, small farm with animals. Did not use spa services. Cabin 7 is kinda funky with huge bathtub, requiring a lot of water to fill, and a fireplace that adds ambiance. Kitchen sink with small refrigerator, but no glasses or kitchen towel. Bath towels were thin, and shower spray soaks entire bathroom floor. I would recommend a stay here, but check your cabin layout first. Restraunt and breakfast were great, with great waitstaff.

The huts are so beautiful and have a comfy furniture. The fire place is a real highlight. The breakfast is served as a Buffet. A lot of animals in the "farm".
