    OMG - one of the nicest places I have ever stayed. The large apartment, with its sunken bath, large bed and beautiful candles was so romantic - pity I was also travelling with my kids! I would return here in a heartbeat - such an amazing place.

    This is an experience of a lifetime to stay in a 10,000 year old cave. I expected some inconvenience, but it was all luxury! Pietro was so helpful in explaining the shuttle process and showing us around. The morning breakfast was fabulous as well.
