We loved our stay at the hotel! First of all, the design of the hotel is beautiful, not only the overall buildings, but also the details. Also, the service was very good, including the check-in process, the breakfast and the room service. We always felt very welcome thanks to the friendly staff. Lastly, the hotel is secure, with the front door being locked all day, and the beach and some restaurants can be reached by walking.

The villa was stunning. The view alone is worth the long bumpy drive up the hill. The pool is beautiful and the house has everything that you need for a more than comfortable stay. We watched the sun set each night and we were gently wakened as it rose the next morning.

Beautiful hotel a little aside from Uvitas main street. There is a nice French bakery right next to it and you can get pretty fast to the beach which is part of the national park. The host did a marvelous job so we would have a good stay and we enjoyed the spots he recommended us. Many thanks for the great time and all the best.
