The only disappointment was that we didn’t stay in the chalet that we thought be booked based on the pictures. That was something completely different to what we got. The chalet was ok but it’s was semi detached (not as shown in the pictures) and the carpet and chairs were dirty and the door didn’t lock easily, there was also a broken chair outside, and the blinds didnt work. The beds were very comfortable and the views were beautiful and the eco pool was great. The breakfast was delicious aswell.

Tara United Arab Emirates

The whole estate territory is huge and you almost don't see other guests. The orchard cottages surrounded by olive and lemon trees were very cozy, and staying there made us feel like home. Sitting around the fireplace with a glass of complimentary wine was exactly what we needed in the end of a rainy and windy day. And they serve the tastiest bread from their own bakery during breakfast!

Oleksandr Ukraine

The 2-course breakfast was included in our stay and absolutely amazing. Great variety to choose from and the venue was really nice, overlooking the vegetable and herb gardens, with the mountains in the backdrop

Twanette United States of America

We had a lovely, very comfortable stay in the Werf Cottages. Staff is amazing. Food is amazing. Wines are excellent. And best of all: they offer full day activities for the kids 😊. Will certainly come back here.
