“The site-seeing is incredible”

Reviewed March 1, 2013 via mobile

The mansion is really surprisingly "authentic" and all it's furnitures very beautiful. The sight all around is astonishing. I went to swim in one of their private beaches just before sunset : a unique experience. Not being Golfer , we had to find some occupation but they organize a visit of their spectacular farm and it was nice.
