 Verified Absolutely a beautiful home!! It exceeded expectations to the max. The views from the mountain in every room was amazing and very relaxing. We rented ATVs during our stay which helped tremendously because walking up and down that mountain can be a bit much but absolutely worth it because of the views. My host, Arnaud and Adriana both helped the entire trip with quick responses, information and accommodations for my large group of 12 people. The chef was absolutely amazing, catering to any request we needed along with all the helpers and assistants. Highly recommend and will definitely come back.

 Verified I celebrated my birthday here with a total of 13 friends. The host was helpful from the time we stepped off the flight to the time we checked out. The house is pretty far so they arranged transportation for a few of our activities which was very helpful. The host also arranged the best excursions for my group and I. Everything was seamlessly organized. The chef was also great and was easy to communicate with. The house is so much better in person by the way, the pics doesn’t do it any justice. My entire group was 100% satisfied. Our only complaint was the cool water for showering but I believe that is a city issue. Other than that, don’t hesitate to book this place, especially if you’re looking to have a great vacation with your group. I had the best time
