Ģirts Latvia

The beds were great, the rooms were very nice. I loved the spa- it was the best steam room I have ever been in. I love their showers. They bake their own bread- it was to die for. All the people spoke English.

Steven United States of America

One of the great things is the atmosphere of Villa Santa complex in general - rustic, not over the top, very relaxing and hand in hand with nature. For peace and quiet lovers like me and my partner - a great place to visit. Staff is very forthcoming and nice, and we enjoyed the laid-back and relaxing atmosphere a lot.

Rihards Latvia

The rooms are beautiful and the location perfect. Absolutely a wonderful stay!

Vill Santa is a haven on earth. Placed in the woods, surrounded by beautiful nature. Isolated enough but also near the road. The food was beyond delicious, dinner especially! :)

Anonymous Latvia

A unique location and setting (a historic sanatorium at the top of a hill), wonderful air. Has been freshly renovated with great care, the buildings and rooms look really nice. An outstanding restaurant, we really enjoyed our dinner.
