His Opinion: I'm so glad that we were able to stay at this country side house hotel. the rooms were amazing and rustic (stayed in san Lorenzo the junior suite) and opens right into the garden by the pool. the images don't do it justice, it is truly a beautiful area. the staff are extremely nice and go out of their way to make you feel comfortable. the food is incredible! everything home made and most of the ingredients are taken from the land around the hotel. I would stay in this hotel and you are missing out if you do not! Thank you to all the staff.
