Our hosts (Alejandra, Ken and Daniel) were lovely, we felt extremely welcome and they helped us organize activities and excursions, and they gave us advice on car rentals before we arrived. In general, the level of hospitality was excellent and we felt very welcome and taken care of. The multi-course breakfast was large and delicious, with an amazing view and extremely attentive service. The gardens and the rest of the property were a masterpiece and we spent some time exploring and hanging out on a hammock next to the woods, which was very peaceful.
