The wine tasting was excellent! The wines were marvellous, and the charcuterie platter served alongside them was delicious, generously laid out with sausages, cheeses, bread and fresh grapes. We loved being able to take the tour and the tasting at our own pace. Unlike the rushed, guided tours we’re used to at big brands, here we were able to enjoy every moment without any pressure. We felt very welcome from start to finish.

The house was amazing—even better than in the photos. Very clean, modern and with everything we needed. The four bedrooms were more than enough for the five of us to spread out and have our own privacy. What’s more, the outdoor area is great for enjoying a glass of wine and taking in the wonderful scenery. We would have loved to stay another night and take part in a wine tasting with them, but we simply didn’t have the time. Albertina was incredibly helpful and lovely. We hope to return soon.

The location is perfect for relaxing and unwinding, as it’s set in the middle of a vineyard. The house is fully equipped and the décor is very tasteful. The photos are a true reflection of the accommodation. We had a brilliant time and would do it again in a heartbeat. The hosts are lovely too.
