• Veronica from Australia (8/10)

  Our stay was absolutely wonderful! The accommodation was bohemian, creative, and thoughtfully designed, with every detail crafted with love. You can truly see the effort put into creating this beautiful space. The Moroccan-style decor was stunning, and everything—from the cutlery to the furnishings—was tastefully curated. We felt completely at ease in this private and serene setting. The host was amazing—attentive yet unobtrusive. A special highlight was gazing out our window at the two beehives, buzzing with life, surrounded by tall, majestic trees. Loved it! Thank you!
