The garden and the friendliness of the staff were great, but the higher‑category room felt very cramped.

The spot is gorgeous in Dao’s wine region, and the hotel itself is a stunning former manor with scale, history, and class. Nothing else disappointed us, except that we wished we could stay longer. The only slight drawback (hence not a perfect 10) is the limited attractions in the surrounding area.

This place is a hidden treasure, breathtaking and steeped in history—like staying in a 19th‑century eccentric lord’s country house. The common areas and rooms feel like a real home, not a hotel, and many rooms showcase valuable antiques and paintings; the spa was there but we didn’t have time to visit. We ate breakfast and lunch on the balcony or loggia, with abundant, delicious food served in a home‑like manner rather than the impersonal style of many hotels. The pool and gardens are stunning, offering plenty of space to unwind or stroll. The staff were the real highlight: impeccably professional yet relaxed and friendly. The only thing we didn’t love was that, being on the ground floor, the view was limited; on the plus side, we had instant access to the gardens and pool, and the room itself was gorgeous.
