Highs & Lows
-
Innovative architecture and impactful interior design.
-
Admirable design philosophy: to not interfere directly with the land and to respect nature in every possible way.
-
Impressive eco credentials: sustainable eco-lofts built using wood and Corten stell, which changes color, hence allowing the structures to blend seamlessly into the surrounds. Eco-lofts were elevated into place, to avoid contact with the soil, hence protecting natural surrounds.
-
Staff: support local villages and communities by only hiring local staff.
-
Service: the most genuinely warm and friendly service we have ever encountered anywhere.
-
Proximity to Michelin star restaurants.
-
Too many amazing places nearby to visit, too little time.
