'Rough Diamond'
Idyllic farm-like location set on top of a hill with beautiful views surrounded by olive & vine groves. However, this 'old' but newly rebuilt /refurbished resort is on still in it's final stages of completion e.g beautiful pool almost completed (unfortunaely missed out by few days). Access to the property almost requires a 4WD for the dirt & rocky roads & a very detailed map as GPS does not recognise the location & the property is not sign posted ANY WHERE. If you are looking for a quiet relaxing location to read a good book, enjoy magnificent views & chill out this is perfect, just be prepared to travel 5klm or 8klm to your nearest eating options, a nice breakfast is provided but there are no options for bar fridge etc to store or prepare your own food & drink - such a shame as it's the perfect location for a picnic or antipasta platter with a good glass of wine o watch the sun set . The home made wine from the resort is quite good, did not get to try the home made olive oil. We highly recommend the traditional 'Nonna' & 'Poppa' roadside tratoria at the end of the 5 klm country road, nothing fancy to look at but good simle food & lovely people. The directions on the internet need to be corrected / updated, but a resort that with the right foresight & management will be worth watching & possibly re-visiting.
