    noisy room

    The view from the deluxe room was absolutely breathtaking, making every sunset a stunning experience.

    The ground floor room was quite noisy at night, especially with slamming doors from the staff area.

    spotty wi-fi

    We had an awesome stay with friends! The outdoor dining was relaxing, and the Smart TVs were perfect for our downtime. We also loved cycling around the vineyards and exploring local shops. Highly recommend checking out the culinary masterpieces that made our stay memorable.

    The only downside was the Wi-Fi, which wasn't the best at times, making it tricky to stay connected during our visit.

    stunning pool view
    complimentary breakfast
    relaxing massage services
    noise from nearby activity

    We absolutely loved our time here, especially enjoying the stunning pool view and the delightful complimentary breakfast each morning. The outdoor area was perfect for lounging, and we found the massage services truly relaxing. One small downside was the noise from nearby activity, but it didn't take away from how much we enjoyed our stay! 👍

    Unforgettable culinary delights and stunning views

    My two-night stay in a Deluxe Double Room with Pool View was extraordinary. The culinary experience was superb, with each dish crafted to perfection by talented chefs, and the breathtaking views of the mountains added a magical touch to our meals. The attentiveness of the staff, especially Ilaria, truly enhanced our stay, making every moment feel special. I did notice some noise from the staff area at night, which could be distracting.

    chef goodwin
    warm hospitality
    noise issues
    service inconsistencies
    missing view

    Celebrating graduation at Ludus Magnus was unforgettable! Chef Goodwin outdid himself with every dish, making the meals a true highlight. Lydia and Erron's warm hospitality turned an ordinary grad party into an extraordinary event. The attention to detail was top-notch, and Ilaria’s meticulous nature really stood out. Every moment felt special. On the downside, we faced some noise issues at night. Staying in the ground-floor unit meant missing out on the stunning mountain view everyone raves about. It felt a bit congested with the staff doors slamming. The meal service outside by the pool could use some improvement. we had to get up several times to request drinks, which disrupted our relaxation. Despite these hiccups, the overall experience was remarkable, and I left feeling thankful for all the hard work that made our celebration shine.

    Unforgettable graduation vibes!

    Our 2-night stay was epic! Chef Goodwin nailed every dish, and the kindness of Lydia and Erron made it all unforgettable. The outdoor dining area was such a chill spot for meals. The only bummer was the Wi-Fi which was a bit spotty at times. Totally made up for by the amazing pool view from the room, tho!

    6.0

    The ground floor unit is misleadingly marketed, lacking that coveted mountain view while being adjacent to a bustling office area that generates noise at night with slamming doors. the poolside service was inconsistent, requiring guests to leave their relaxation to fetch drinks, which detracted from the charm of the experience. Although some rooms may offer better views and quieter stays, the overall quality felt a bit uneven compared to competitors in the area, leading to a sense of being overcharged.
