9.2/10 Wonderful! (357 reviews)

"とても良いホテルで癒されました。木のぬくもりと自然の田園の中にあり、ゆったりとできました。朝食もおいしく、すべて素材や味付け、料理がおいしくおなかいっぱいでなければもっともっといただきたかった。スムージーもとっても美味しかった。さらにテラスでの食事は自然の風を受け、緑の田んぼを見ながら癒されました。部屋も清潔感があり、木のぬくもりと目の前の田んぼと向かいの部屋とは目隠しがされていて、カーテンをあけっぱなしでもいいぐらいで良い設計だなと思いました。ライブラリーにも様々な本があり、とっても良かったのですが、今回は時間もなくゆったり読めませんでした。次回はもっと余裕をもって来たいです。お風呂も椅子がなくて逆に新鮮で良かったです。必要ないと実感できました。露天風呂も癒されました。１点だけ気になったのが、お風呂の脱衣場の床が少しべとべとまではいきませんが、べたつきがあったので、自分のスリッパを持参すれば良かったかなと思いました。またリピートします。ありがとうございました。空港からの無料送迎バスがあると嬉しい。（数百円でもいい）"
