We had a fantastic stay. Noel and Michelle ensured my birthday celebrations were fantastic. The grounds are clean, well kept and exceptionally beautiful. Noel is especially funny and our wine tasting with him was fun and enjoyable. Thank you all for a lovely stay!

Amazing stay at La Villa Retreat. So gutted we had only booked for one night as we had to move onto the next place. The grounds, the accommodation, and the service was incredible. We will certainly be booking again!

We loved our stay at La Villa Retreat! Everything from the way we were greeted with a wine tasting our first night, to the beautiful grounds, to our well appointed room, to the lovely breakfasts made it a great stay. One cool night we requested that the staff light the fire in our fireplace so it would be warm when we returned. Returning after dinner to a room lit by the fireplace was just delightful. If it wasn't so far away, we'd happily return often for a couple's getaway!
