This 4.6-rated estate transforms multi-day celebrations into moments guests actually savor, from welcome dinners under pergolas to ceremonies framed by Mediterranean light.
Great place. The food is cooked REALLY WELL!. Spacious, well kept, lots of parking. My only fault is the cosmetic pool at the entrance, very dangerous with all the young children running around . It needs a safety rope around it because an accident will happen . Overall good entertaining space.
