This one year old hotel is an undiscovered gem.

Bear in mind, this hotel is a leading edge, stake in ground to begin to develop this area as a wine destination... So it is abit like catching Sonoma 14 years ago. The wineries are great, there are a couple of nice restaurants, the wonderful castle..... and a really good wine museum... which is modern and sophisticated. So you know though, you will not have the complete commercial development of a Napa ... so no upscale stores and wine bars, etc... I thought it was a great get away and the hotel was fantastic... but this is more of a rustic wine journey..that happens to have a great, modern hotel option to stay at.

First, I must admit this is the most beautiful hotel we have ever visited. The rooms and the…read moregrounds are simply beautiful. The room amenities are special. The bellman was lovely and helpful. Sadly, our rooms had NO ac! It's middle of October and they tell us the ac has been officially turned off and the heat is turned on. It's blazing hot in the rooms! We had 5 rooms and no one got a good nights rest throughout our stay. We kept the windows and doors open in order to get a tiny breeze but unfortunately woken up to the sound of construction! Had they disclosed this information, we would have never stayed here! We need ac to sleep! The breakfast is hands down plentiful and delicious! The tapas in the gastropub were all delicious! Order the red bean soup! Another huge disappointment was dinner in the restaurant. We had to preorder our meals 2 weeks prior to arrival. The server seemed both surprised and annoyed that we wanted to order appetizers prior to our main dish. 6 of us ordered a chicken soup but they only had soup for 2 people. Three of us ordered the duck. It was uneditable! Tough as nails. The lamb skewers had more bones than meat. We had to ask if we could order dessert, again, the server seemed annoyed. My husband drinks rum & diet and after a few drinks, they tell him they ran out of rum. And guess what they did have? AC! Needless to say, dinner was not a good experience and it was expensive. Very disappointed that such a spectacular property failed to meet our expectations. AC & good food is a must when paying top money. 5 stars for beauty 0 stars for lack of AC 3 stars for dining experience
