It is a working farm, where they grow grapes and graze some cattle, and sits on a ridge with a view of the valley below. The rooms are very simple but clean & comfortable, the included breakfast is a very generous meat & cheese platter, and the tree-covered patio outside the bar is a lovely place to sit & enjoy a meal.

Certainly a five star place for everything . The ravioli with black truffle I had one of the best…read morein my life . Local wines are very good too. Strongly recommend!
