I had the pleasure of staying at this wonderful property for one night, and it was exactly what I needed. The location is incredibly quiet and peaceful, providing the perfect environment to unwind and relax without any disturbances. It felt like a true escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The house itself was spacious and comfortable, and the property offered a large area for parking, which was very convenient. There’s also a beautiful farm and garden that adds to the charm of the place, creating a serene atmosphere. Whether you're looking to relax or enjoy a peaceful walk around the grounds, this place truly offers a calming and rejuvenating experience. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a peaceful getaway!

The blossom house is beautiful and very well designed. Nice garden with impressive papaya trees. We received a fruit basket with all the fruits we loved. Nice spacious rooms and bathrooms. Very comfortable beddings. The place seems a bit away but it was easy to find a bodaboda on an adjacent street to move out. Enough space for parking in the yard
