This is one of our favorite places we have EVER stayed. Everything about it was top notch. We stayed 4 nights in a deluxe room that had a huge terrace and fantastic view (including the sea in the distance, and could also see some of the produce growing at the farm). Our favorite aspects were the food, spa, natural beauty, staff & free shuttle service. We loved the breakfast each morning, a wide-ranging buffet (so fresh!), plus eggs made to order. Check out the coffee-infused yogurt; had never seen THAT before! We had a few lunches by the pool, and 2 dinners: 1 at Il Mirto and also at the other, more traditional dinner restaurant. Il Mirto is a vegetarian experience we'll never forget (and we are not vegetarians). The creativity, presentations, explanations & tastes were amazing. Spa was the best! We both had wonderful massages, and we also went to the spa each day for the Turkish bath (steam, in a huge stone igloo-shaped room) and for the best warm-water pool with powerful jets and waterfalls (for the back and shoulders) that we've ever been in. And we always had this all to ourselves! Nadia at the spa desk was extremely welcoming and helpful. We took advantage of the free shuttle service to go to the towns of Forio & Lacco Ameno, to Negombo thermal park & beach (a bit disappointing, SO crowded), and to the nearby gardens (fantastic). The driver also gave us great advice for other outings and restaurants. The staff at the restaurants, reception, customer services, and the drivers within the complex were all so nice too. This place was extremely hard to leave!
