The location was amazing. The pier to the lake was not private, but there was almost never anybody so we had it to ourselves most of the time. We also didn't expect there to be breakfast. Breakfast was always good and more than enough.

Simply delightful! Like a very comfortable tree house. Gorgeous views amazing terrace and so many lovely places in the garden and grounds. We lived taking the kayaks on the lake. Some of the reviews mention the road down... its just a few hundred metres and we managed fine in an SUV.

We had own breakfast basket delivered to our door, it was very generous so we had all the leftovers as snack for all day. The location is amazing with spectacular view, the gardens are very beautiful, the place is very private with only 6 villas and with direct access to the lake. We loved it and willBe back!

absolutely beautiful location. the villa was lovely. very quiet in the middle of winter and peaceful. the staff was very friendly, helpful, and accessible. the road down to the place is indeed narrow, if you are renting a car, consider getting a small model.
