The hotel is housed in a beautifully restored Quinta, complete with lush gardens, an indoor and outdoor swimming pool, a fully equipped spa, and a picturesque terrace that feels like a private backyard.

Together, the spa’s treatments and the serene gardens make the hotel a perfect destination for those seeking both adventure and relaxation.
