The view from the manor is absolutely stunning with the sunset! And to better admire the view, I would recommend taking a book and a glass of wine, nothing more perfect than that! Also would recommend having dinner there, the food is delicious and the atmosphere is peaceful in the dining room by the fireplace 😊

Beautiful property on the lagoon’s edge with a perfect view of sunset. We stayed in Tower 3 which was a huge room with large windows that could be opened up. Beautifully furnished, lovely soft Egyptian cotton bedding and lovely big shower. The restaurants (The Nest and Il de Pain) also offer great food.

    Wow, what a place. The interior design is fantastic, and it backs onto a beautiful lake, where you can enjoy excellent food and drinks and watch the sun set in peace. Truly a special place and we wished we could have stayed far longer than our one night! There are great little boutique shops around also, and two delicious breakfast options accessible if you pay for breakfast.
